Testimonials Related to This Experience

“Our 6 years old son spent two days in the camp and truly enjoyed the fire and tent making activities. He was chatting to us about what he has learned every day after the camp. Highly recommend as there is so much fun and also life skills to learn. The kids are outside all the time, which is also great in particular when the days starts to become warmer. Will be definitely back for the next time.”

“Having survived an armed robbery in Tanzania with a well known gap year company, I trust few education providers with my life. 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.”

“Our 9 year old daughter had the time of her like at bushcraft camp this December - depite it raining almost constantly! 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 :-)”

“I have worked with some members of the team before and they are highly driven, professional and good at what they do. At the same time they can have fun along the way making it an easy experience to work with them. I would highly recommend them.”

“My daughter had a fabulous time and really enjoyed all the activities at a week long course organised at her school. Highly recommended.”
