It was brilliantly organised and one of the most memorable and enjoyable school trips I have been on. Matt and Steve are a very likeable and knowledgable team. They encourage all students to take part in activities and are experts in their field. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From a very happy teacher. read less

The instructors were amazing with the children and really conveyed their enthusiasm for the outdoors and the activities. Our daughter keeps asking when the camp is running again and can she go every time this day please? Thanks so much to the Polaris Outdoor team for a brilliant job 🙂 read less

It was a thoroughly informative and excellent hands-on experience led by some truly inspirational people. Lucas has dreamed of becoming an ‘explorer’ over the last few years and we can now begin to see how we can ensure his dream becomes a reality and will definitely be tapping in to the Really Wild educators and their knowledge and experience in other settings. With any luck Lucas can join in on an expedition, or two! We look forward to catching up with you soon. A huge thank you. read less

With Mat, however, I would allow him to rub nettles all over my hands. I didn't hesitate, therefore to recommend him to my school to run bushcraft camps for Year 7. They were a resounding success with repeat bookings made immediately. I have now moved on to a new school and seized the opportunity to get Polaris Outdoor in to do some team building for our new Year 7, who were delighted to get out of the classroom and do something challenging. Mat is passionate about what he does. He is authentic and has tremendous integrity, combining emotional intelligence with bravery and educational expertise gained from his Geography teacher training. This is no ordinary outdoor company. read less

The directors are passionate about the outdoors, they enthusiastically encourage others to explore and learn in multiple different ways.
Their expeditions are second to none and their approach with schools is fantastic. The education programmes within the outdoor environment are linked to the National Curriculum; most other providers do not have this positive approach; this approach makes it easy for teachers and students alike to relax into the wilderness. read less
