About the Course

A city game opens the week and takes the group across the capital: the Opera House, the Royal Palace, the Akershus fortress and its view over the city and the fjord. One museum is chosen by the group itself, between the Natural History Museum, the science museum with its interactive experiments and the Paradox museum of illusions.

What’s Included

The stay covers accommodation, meals, the visits and outings named in the programme, and accompanied return travel from a French departure city. The base price of this card is the departure from Paris; the other cities are listed under the extras at the difference the operator publishes. The operator runs the stay from a minimum of twenty-four bookings.

Accommodation

The operator states only that the group stays in a youth hostel or a hotel, close to the city centre with public transport nearby, and does not publish the name or the address. This card records the hostel option, which the operator names first; the choice between the two is the operator to make, not ours.

Meal Plan

Meals are prepared by the camp team with help from the participants, and some meals are taken in local restaurants.

Activities & Excursions

The Korketrekkeren run gives two kilometres of sledging down through the snow above the city. Skates come out at the Spikersuppa rink in the middle of Oslo, as the locals use it. There is a Nordic sauna with a view over the water, with the snow falling outside, and a cruise on the Oslofjord between the islands, past forests and small painted houses.

Facilities

The programme itself takes place across Oslo and on the fjord.

Camp Experience

A winter week in a northern capital for older teenagers, about twenty-four of them with one adult for every eight, alternating the city with the snow above it and the water around it. The team includes a qualified camp director and a leader holding the French first-aid certificate.

Discovering Oslo in winter for teenagers aged fourteen to seventeen, between the city itself, the snow above it and the fjord below.

More about this camp

Oslo in winter is a city with snow in its streets and a fjord at its feet, and the week uses both. It opens with a city game that takes the group from the Opera House to the Royal Palace and up to the Akershus fortress, where the view takes in the city and the water at once. One museum is chosen by the group: natural history, a science museum built on interactive experiments, or the Paradox museum of illusions. Above the city the Korketrekkeren gives two kilometres of sledging down through the trees, and somebody always finishes in the powder. In the middle of town the Spikersuppa rink is where Norwegians skate, and the group joins them. A Nordic sauna follows, with a view over the water and snow falling outside, which is the kind of contrast the country is built on. The fjord itself is seen from a boat, on a cruise between the islands, past forests and small painted houses, sometimes with seals on the rocks. The group stays close to the city centre with public transport nearby. The operator says the accommodation is a youth hostel or a hotel and does not publish the name or the address; this card records the first of the two and does not invent the rest. Meals are prepared by the camp team with help from the participants, and some are taken in local restaurants. The group is about twenty-four teenagers, with one adult for every eight; the team includes a qualified camp director and a leader holding the French first-aid certificate. Travel is accompanied from a French departure city and is part of the package; the departure cities and their differences are listed under the extras.
