Send application

FriHAVsliv is a programme for those who long for nature and sea. The school year at Øyrekka folkehøgskole will be active and engaging, you will really get to know yourself and the forces of nature.

Do you want to spend a major part of the year outdoors? Are you dreaming of freediving for scallops? Or maybe catch the biggest fish in the Norwegian sea? Then you have come to the right place!

Friluftsliv Hav offer some of the best options for maritime and coastal activities and outdoor life. You will have a year full of amazing and challenging activities and exiting nature experiences. There are many and varied options and opportunities, and the final programme will be agreed upon in collaboration between teacher and students. FriHAVsliv is guaranteed to give you a unique and unforgettable year!

Large portions of the year will take place at sea in the fresh air, often in a wetsuit. Its’ therefore important that you enjoy being active. Throughout the schoolyear we will engage in many activities, amongst others:

During the school year sea eagles will become a part of your everyday life, and when we are out on trips otters, seals and orcas can all become regular sights. We are planning to have frequent multiday trips, sleeping in everything from hammocks to glamping.

In addition to all this you will also have the option of acquiring different certificates, for example Boating licence, våttkort (Norwegian sea kayaking licence) and potentially a PADI scuba diving licence. This is optional courses and may cost a bit extra.

The school is a so-called liberal folk high school, which means we do not base our values on a particular faith or belief, but on equality and respect for the individual’s integrity. Until our brand new campus is built, we hire a huge houseboat / floating hotel as our base. The floating hotel will contain everything you need; classroom, cafeteria, kitchen, doubleroom (you share room with a roommate), office for the employees and living rooms.

Our courses from August 2023 are listed below:

  • Coastal outdoorlife (FriHAVsliv): Do you want to spend a major part of the year in a kayak? Are you dreaming of freediving for scallops? Or maybe catch the biggest fish in the Norwegian sea? Then you have come to the right place!

  • H2Ø - seascapes, crafting, island life (H2Ø - hav, håndverk og øyliv): Join in on a magical journey through the natural and cultural world of islands. With H2Ø you experience fantastic sea landscapes on foot or by sea kayak.
