Harmony – Outdoor Life, Health and Development

Send application

We focus on the introduction and learning about the great outdoor life, and spice this up with spectacular experiences. Late evenings by the fire, sunrise over the mountains, sunset in the sea...

Harmony - Outdoor life, Physical activity should be varied and fun, and with us you can try sea kayaking, SUP, climbing, simple mountain hikes, strength training and yoga. You will also learn how to cook healthy and nutritious food, and how food is directly linked to both physical and mental health.

Relaxation and well-being are important for good health, and you will learn massage with us, in addition to going to the spa.

This winter we're traveling on a longer trip to Vietnam, where we'll learn a whole new culture, relax on white sandy beaches, practice yoga, and experience beautiful nature from both bike, boat and car.

Stord has a lovely local area, and the school is in a short distance to nice forest walks, mountain walks, the sea, a training center and a climbing hall. This gives us a unique opportunity to offer a varied year with lots of activity, without having to drive far.

Vietnam - The changing country

Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

Duration: 15 dagar

Meals included per day: 3

When winter comes, we pack our summer camp and travel all the way to Vietnam, a country with fantastic nature and an exciting culture. Here we will have spectacular nature experiences both from a cruise ship, by bike and on hiking tours. We are going on a small tour of the country, and will get a unique insight into what Vietnam has to offer.

Some of what you will experience:

  • Visit to historic Dong Thien. A historic pagoda located on a lovely vantage point. Here we will meet a master nun in Zen who will teach us about Buddhist philosophy and thought.
  • Trip by cruise boat to explore small paradises. Visit various islands and caves, as well as kayaking and swimming
  • Exercise, yoga and spa in tropical surroundings
  • Visit local markets
  • Cycle tour and boat trip in a lush landscape with rice paddies and green mountain scenery

There’s more to Vietnam than the traditional image of rice paddies and conical hats. Here you’ll find a country bursting with energy and forward motion. You’ll feel it in the hum and activity on the streets. You’ll see it in the way Vietnamese welcome you to their homes, invite you to taste their food, and proudly show you their rich culture. You’ll sense it in the options and opportunities all around. Simply put, there's never been a more exciting time to visit. Whatever you travel for, you can find it in #VietnamNOW.
