Practices, choirs, music lessons, outdoor groups, community clubs and courses across East Iceland, for children, teenagers and adults.
The ski club coaches children from every town in Fjarðabyggð at Oddsskarð and sends racers to competitions for UÍA. Lift passes at Oddsskarð are free for children aged 0–10; training news is posted on the club's Facebook page.
The snowboard club looks after the terrain park and rental boards at Oddsskarð and holds an open session once a month for snowboarders of all ages. It also sends riders to national cup events.
Mountain hikes, town strolls, a women's walk, bike rides and backpacking trips all over Fjarðabyggð, plus the 'Á fætur í Fjarðabyggð' walking week in June. Each trip has a Facebook event, where short-notice 'Stökktu af stað' outings are also posted.
Courses where children discover the outdoors in the broadest sense, from outdoor games to cycling, and build resilience in nature; the club won UÍA's Hermannsbikar for the project. Dates are announced on Facebook and registration is in Abler.
Varied week-long workshops with artists – visual art, drama, music, Fab Lab and more – in different towns of Fjarðabyggð. Places are limited; registration opens in spring via the municipal portal.
