In Sports and Outdoor Life – New Zealand, you get the perfect combination of diverse sports, great training facilities, amazing nature experiences, and a truly unique journey to one of the world’s most adventurous countries on the other side of the globe.
This is the program for those who love being active but don’t necessarily want a pure elite sports or extreme outdoor focus.
Here, you’ll get to try a wide variety of activities, challenge yourself at your own level, and have fun together with others who share your interests.
Variety, mastery, and joy in sports
We fill our days with everything from classic ball sports like football (soccer), volleyball, handball, and basketball, to racket sports such as padel, tennis, and badminton. You’ll also get the chance to try martial arts, strength and endurance training, surfing, rafting, and sports like ultimate frisbee, golf, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, cycling, and biathlon.
Together, we set goals—physically, mentally, and in terms of nutrition—and draw inspiration from experts within sports and training.
The school’s campus offers plenty of opportunities! Here you’ll find:
- A new, large, and modern sports hall
- A swimming pool
- A spacious gym
- A local grass field for football and other activities
Nearby, we also have access to a large indoor artificial turf field, beach volleyball courts, a climbing wall, tennis court, athletics track, and beautiful jogging trails. In the Sørlandet region, you’ll also find ski resorts, golf courses, a curling rink, climbing gyms, water parks, and large fitness centers.
In short: everything is in place for an active lifestyle — both during classes and in your free time.
When we’re not in the hall or on the field, we head out into nature. Southern Norway offers beautiful coastlines, stunning mountains, and a wide range of outdoor activities. We go on hammock trips, camping trips, fishing trips, cabin stays, solo nights outdoors, and mountain hikes. We light campfires and cook meals outside, paddle canoes, and go climbing at a level that suits us.
Sports & Outdoor Life – New Zealand is not just about becoming stronger, faster, or more enduring. It’s also about getting to know yourself and others in a new way.
We place great emphasis on safety, togetherness, and the joy of sports rather than performance pressure.
Here, you’ll find friends for life and create memories you’ll carry with you — both in everyday life and into the future.
The highlight of the program is without a doubt the trip to New Zealand — a country offering spectacular nature and endless opportunities for adventure. Here, we combine sports and outdoor life at their very best, with everything from surfing beaches and mountain hikes to rafting and exploring breathtaking landscapes.
This will be a journey filled with excitement, friendship, and unforgettable nature experiences.
