Many staff members and all students offer a range of activities to youngsters from many Norwegian schools during one week courses in spring, summer and autumn.

This is organised through the college Leirskule (Camp School) program which is led by staff with the additional support of EVS volunteers.

The college's objective is to help students become active, involved and educated citizens whose attitudes towards understanding and service will be a powerful catalyst for change.

Through these students, who are selected on merit as representatives of their countries, UWCRCN hopes to influence their wider communities to become more understanding, compassionate and peaceful.
