Hovedmål på Challenge Explore er at du som elev skal kunne utvikle deg gjennom teambuilding, selvutvikling, friluftsliv, praktisk og teoretisk turplanlegging. Du er med på å planlegge din egen backpackertur, noe som gir deg unike muligheter til å få oppfylt dine reisedrømmer.
Du vil få utfordringer av mange slag. Gjennom disse blir du kjent med deg selv, og ser hvor langt du kan nå ved å strekke egne grenser. Utfordringene kan være både fysiske og psykiske; å overnatte under åpen himmel i Australia, solodøgn i skogen, eller reise så langt som mulig i Norge uten å bruke penger. Dette gir livsmestring!
Det å bruke naturen og nærområdet er også med som en del av opplevelsen dette året. Teambuilding gjør vi i grupper, små og store, både ute i naturen, i klasserommet og på tur. Vi bruker utfordringer som et middel til å kjenne på egne grenser og kanskje justere de litt. Slik kan vi jobbe både med selvtillit og selvfølelse.
Å lage mat fra alle landene vi besøker er en artig og smaksrik opplevelse. Når vi får se og lære om kulturen og folket vi skal treffe på våre reiser, gir det oss en bedre og dypere forståelse av verden, men også om oss selv.
Året på Challenge Explore gir deg unike, store, små, artige, strevsomme, lærerike, grensesprengende og gode opplevelser sammen med andre.

The group trip to Spain is one of the highlights at the beginning of the school year – and the perfect way to get to know your fellow students and teachers. For the 2025–2026 school year, we’re heading to sunny Andalusia, with our base near the coastal town of Rota.
During the trip, you’ll have the chance to try surfing, play frisbee golf, join bike rides, and relax with the group on the beach. We’ll also visit exciting places like the historic city of Seville and the unique area of Gibraltar – known for its monkeys, British culture, and stunning views.
This trip is just as much about building community as it is about exploring new places. You’ll connect with people from different lines and have time to settle into what could become one of the best years of your life. All meals and activities are included in the tuition – you just need some pocket money for the extras.
At Bakketun, you’ll get to explore your interests, try new things and become part of a warm, inclusive community. Early in the school year, we go on a shared trip to Spain – the perfect way to get to know each other and kickstart an unforgettable year.
You’ll meet teachers who care, support you and encourage you to take chances. You’ll have space to reflect, discover what matters to you, and grow both personally and academically. A year at Bakketun gives you direction, confidence and meaningful experiences – preparing you for further studies, work, and life ahead.
Choose between several exciting programs and a wide range of electives. Are you active and adventurous, or creative and curious? You don’t have to choose one or the other – at Bakketun, you can combine, explore, and find your own balance.
We’re surrounded by mountains, forest, sea and small-town life. You’ll feel the thrill of a mountain hike, the peace of the woods, the wind on a surfboard and the laughter around a campfire. Some days challenge you – others are just about enjoying the moment together.
What students remember most about Bakketun is the people. You’ll be part of a safe and supportive community where everyone matters. You’ll make friends to laugh with, grow with, and share everyday life with – friends who cheer you on when you try something new.
You’ll live close to others, share meals, trips, and everyday moments. The community you become part of leaves a mark – and often lasts a lifetime.
Welcome to Bakketun – a year that might mean more than you expect.
