Water camp Sjoa

The Backpacker Ekstremsport gang continues their adventures immediately after climbing Glittertind in Jotunheimen, with a water camp in Heidal. Overnight stay in a lavvo at Gorafting in Heidal and fast-paced water activities at Sjoa and in Gudbrandsdalslågen.
Rafting in Sjoa, Riverboarding in Lågen and bridge jumping are on the program in addition to cooking, accommodation in Lavvu and socializing.

Low water levels in Sjoa give students good opportunities to surf with the raft in good waves. An exciting and humid experience for most when the raft is sucked into the rollers and the raft fills with water. Many frozen faces were observed in the rafts when this was happening.

Riverboarding on Lågen is a great experience. Here you start with a long ride on a calm river, where you get good training in various techniques before the current increases, rollers are forced and maneuvering becomes important. This is done with flying colors.

We also have time to jump from a bridge over Sjoa. Here, food jumps out of the bridge at one end and hangs and hovers a few meters above the water surface in Sjoa. It tickles your stomach and gives you a good feeling after you've jumped.
