Bli med på 3–4 uker med tropisk Backpacking i Costa Rica. For deg som vil reise, møte nye mennesker og oppleve mer av verden.

Backpackerlinja er for deg som vil oppleve verden, møte nye mennesker og lære å reise på egen hånd. Gjennom dette halvåret kombinerer vi backpacking og opplevelser i Norge og med en lengre reise til Costa Rica. Kurset er en del av helårslinja Backpacker - Interrail og Costa Rica

Backpacking Norge
Gjennom året bruker vi Norge som treningsarena. Vi drar på kortere turer og kombinerer backpacking med friluftsliv og andre sosiale aktiviteter. Det kan være fjellturer, kajakk, klatring, ski, fiske, overnatting ute og by- og kulturopplevelser.

Backpacking Costa Rica
På våren venter 3–4 uker backpacking i Costa Rica. Vi reiser mellom ulike steder og opplever Stillehavskysten, det karibiske hav, jungel, vulkaner, dyreliv og lokal kultur. Surfing, snorkling, kajakk, rafting, zipline og andre aktiviteter kan bli en del av reisen.

Vi planlegger godt, men har også rom for spontane opplevelser og tips fra andre backpackere vi møter underveis.

A Place to Be Yourself

At Skogn, we believe the best moments happen when different people meet. Located in scenic Levanger, surrounded by fjords, mountains, and countryside, our school is just a short train ride from Værnes Airport and Trondheim. Here, you’ll live side by side with students who have completely different interests than your own. This creates a warm and inclusive environment where everyone belongs — whether you love being active, exploring nature, gaming, or relaxing around the dinner table.

Growth and Diversity Across All Courses

We combine specialized subjects with traditional folk high school values. It’s not about being the best, but about pushing your own boundaries and achieving personal growth together. Our courses range from high-energy activities like Martial Arts and Hunting & Fishing, to creative expression in N3rd-Culture, and practical life skills in our supported living program.

Real, Local Food — All-Inclusive

We are passionate about clean, wholesome, and nutritious food. We use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible and serve four daily meals to fuel your active days. Everyone gets equal opportunities: once you enroll, all standard course expenses, as well as study trips in Norway and abroad, are fully covered in your tuition fees.

A Close-Knit Community

You’ll live in smaller residence houses with 9 to 18 students, sharing a living room and kitchen. This is where real folk high school life happens — through conversations, board games, cooking together, and everyday moments.

Welcome to a year with your feet planted firmly on the ground and a mind full of new perspectives!
