It's that time of year again... time to trim the tree and support Skogfjorden all in one go!

This summer was all about Lillebjørn Nilsen at Skogfjorden! We had some remarkable 'allsang' moments, we met some characters from Lillebjørn’s classic songs, and we felt the music throughout the program. While Lillebjørn Nilsen (the musician) was a huge part of summer 2024, 'lillebjørn' (the constellation), is never far away at Skogfjorden. You can find 'lillebjørn' underfoot at Syv Søstre, overhead in the immense night sky, and now on your own Christmas tree.

100% of the proceeds goes to the Skogfjorden Scholarship Fund which supports villagers attending camp every summer.

Order yours today!
