  Want to practice your language while doing your favorite sport? We offer additional sport courses in windsurfing, diving, tennis, yoga and beach volleyball, among others. Don’t hesitate to ask us for advice.
• My Page
  In the spring, you will receive login information for a page that we call My Page. Here you will find detailed information about your trip. Here you can also check your own information and make sure that everything is correct. A couple of weeks before departure, all preparations are complete and you will also see contact information for your leader and host family (if you have chosen to live in a host family).

  Before your trip, we publish our Student handbook on My Page. It contains lots of useful tips, information about your destination and the answers to most of your questions. Our rules and regulations are also included. Please make sure to go through these with your parents before departure, it will make you well-prepared for a successful trip!
