At Skogfjorden, the fun never stops!
Innebandy, or indoor floor hockey, is a big hit!
No two years are the same at Skogfjorden and the variety of activities will vary from day to day. Innebandy (indoor floor hockey), knitting, Viking games, and folkedans (folk dance) are just a taste of what the Norwegian Language Village has to offer. Skogfjorden gives you the chance to expand on your current interests as well as the opportunity to discover new ones.
Friendships that last!
Between activities, build the community you are looking for and friends that last a lifetime with your peers from around the world in your cabin at Skogfjorden. Each traditional Norwegian log cabin includes 3 bedrooms that houses up to 16 villagers and staff members, a common living space for socializing with your cabin mates, and restrooms plus shower facilities. Your cabin will become your home away from home, giving you the space you need to forge lasting friendships and memories of Skogfjorden.
