HAVE UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES OUT IN NATURE
Outdoor is for you if you’re looking for unique experiences, new challenges, and a strong sense of community where everyone is welcome. Nature is our playground as we explore a wide range of outdoor activities and adventures together, developing new skills along the way. The classes are all about being active together – both physically and mentally. It’s about challenging yourself, discovering the joy of outdoor activities, and experiencing what we can achieve when we work together. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to grow as a person and discover the many possibilities that nature has to offer.
A WORLD OF CHALLENGES
When you choose Outdoor, you’ll get the chance to try a wide variety of activities. The course includes kayaking, basic outdoor skills, mountain biking, rollerblading, climbing, Intelligent Adventure, kite building, outdoor games, and much more. During winter, you’ll also get to experience skiing and winter mountain activities. You’ll also learn how to feel at home in the outdoors – from cooking and sleeping outside to looking after yourself and each other when facing cold, wind, rain, storms, and whatever else nature might throw your way.
Trips with outdoor
When you choose Outdoor at Idrætshøjskolen Aarhus, you’ll have the opportunity to join a variety of trips in Denmark and abroad. During both the spring and autumn semesters, we head out to explore the Danish outdoors, and both semesters also include adventures in the hilly landscapes of Sweden. In addition, our spring students travel to Norway, where they get to experience the rugged winter landscapes of the north.
A UNIQUE FELLOWSHIP
The sense of teamwork is an important part of Outdoor. You’ll often experience a very special sense of community as you push your boundaries together and support each other as a team around the clock. That sense of togetherness is just as present around the campfire in the evening as it is inside a newly built igloo. These are also the moments when the day’s experiences begin to sink in, as you get the chance to reflect on them together. With a marshmallow roasting over the fire and a cup of hot chocolate in your hands, there’s time to connect with your teammates in a whole new way. Pushing your own boundaries isn’t always easy, but it’s often in those moments that you grow, discover new sides of yourself, and develop as a person.
