Alpindag i Meråker Alpinsenter

Mandatory: Nei

Price: Included in course price

Vi tar med oss hele skolen og leier hele Meråker alipinsenter for oss selv. Her har vi tilgang på verdensklasse skikjøring, brettkjøring og randonee. I tillegg kan du gå langrenn om du ønsker. Vi griller og koser oss i vårsola.

RIB tur i Flatanger

Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

Vi drar til idylliske flatanger å kjører rib og griller!

Bli-kjent-tur i Snåsa

Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

Duration: 4-5 dager

Bli-kjent-turen har akkurat det formålet som navnet antyder. Dette er en tur med tradisjonelt norsk friluftsliv. Turen er på enten fire eller fem dager, alt etter evne og lyst.

Vi deler skolen opp i fire, og tilbyr fire ulike bli kjentturer basert på interesse og kunnskap. De letteste turene har mye vekt på det sosiale og her blir du busset til hyttedøren hvor du tilbringer natten i en seng. På de mer primitive turene går det i toppturer, sjøturer eller kanoturer. Den hardeste turen er utfordrende, men alle som melder seg på klarer å gjennomføre den. Vi bruker både kano, kajakk og kanskje bruksbåter i løpet av denne uken.

Bli kjent turene holdes i nærområdet til skolen og her benytter vi oss av lokale hytter, en kanotur i Skjækerfjella nasjonalpark, en sjøtur med fokus på havfiske med flotte lokaliteter, og siste alternativ er en kanotur i Forra naturreservat.

Vårt mål med disse turene er at man blir godt kjent på kryss og tvers av linjer, avdelinger og at man blir tryggere på medelever og ansatte etter turene.

Hyttetur med hele skolen

Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

Duration: 1 uke

Blåturen er en tur som holdes helt på tampen av året og planlegges kun uker før avreise. Her er det igjen mye vekt på det sosiale med noen overraskelser underveis. Som navnet antyder så er det en BLÅ-tur, altså vil du ikke vite hvor du ender opp, eller hva du skal gjøre.

Norwegian course

We offer a norwegian course for our foreign students. You will learn both to speak, and write in norwegian.

Gymnastics

We train calisthenics, balance and coordination. We'll take some fieldtrips to the gymnastics gym in Levanger, where we learn flips and utilizing the various gymnastics apparatus. Perfect for daredevils and for generalized strength and mobility.

Admission requirements

No requirements. 

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!
