    Spain

    One of the highlights of the year is the study trip to the Canary Islands. Here we get to experience what the islands have to offer in terms of activity and spectacular experiences. Via Ferrata, cycling, volcano visits and wild nature are some of the things we will experience.

    The beaches in Spain invite us to surf, beach volleyball, water activities and beautiful sunsets. All this together on a line where you will probably make friends for life. Check out what the class Explore did on last year's trip here!

    In addition to the focus areas, there are endless opportunities to try other activities on the line. Maybe Teqball or spikeball will be an activity you just have to play daily?

    When the autumn chill sets in, we head south for our first international adventure — to sunny Spain!

    On the Canary Islands, you’ll experience everything these unique islands have to offer — from rich culture and exciting activities to breathtaking nature. We’ll explore via ferrata routes, go cycling, visit volcanic landscapes, and discover wild, untouched nature. The beaches invite us to enjoy surfing, beach volleyball, water activities, and unforgettable sunsets — all while building friendships that can last a lifetime.

    We’ll also dive into a fascinating culture rooted in Spanish traditions, yet shaped by its close connection to the west coast of Africa.
