Active Outdoor Life – Asia, combines outdoor adventures in Norway, with white beaches and sunshine in Sri Lanka and the Maldives!

Nature is our classroom. Whether it’s snowy winter or a warm spring day, we always find ways to be active outdoors. You can expect 30–35 nights spent on trips away from campus – both with your class and the entire school. Our longest trip takes us to Sri Lanka and the Maldives. 

What you’ll experience 

Active Outdoor Life

Our goal in this course is to create unique experiences, through a wide range of outdoor activities and trips. You’ll get to challenge yourself through climbing, surfing, and bungee jumping, and experience real mastery on multi-day hikes, solo nights outdoors, and ski trips with and without pulk.

A year on Active Outdoor Life – Asia gives you more than just memories and experiences. You’ll become more confident in nature, learn how to work in a team, and handle new situations – at home and abroad.
