Locations

Polaris Nature School operates in rich and beautiful parks within Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Specific program locations are chosen based on availability and demand. If you’d like to see a program in your area, please complete our short interest form.

We acknowledge that we work on unceded traditional, ancestral Indigenous territories, including those of many Coast Salish nations. Polaris Nature School aims to honour the land and its history, while avoiding cultural appropriation. We welcome feedback  in all areas of our use of the land.

Finding Your True North

Through meaningful connection with nature, we help people form a stronger understanding of themselves, their values, and their true desires. Participants often come away with a better understanding of their purpose in life, and improved clarity on how to achieve it. This is why Polaris Nature School is named after the North Star – we help you find your own direction, your true north.

Nature-Centered Ways of Learning

Imagine that instead of walking past that tree in the park, you stop to find out what makes it unique. You feel it in your hands, learn to twist its bark into rope, and learn its importance to people and the ecosystem.

When you next walk by the tree or touch the rope you made, you’ll remember the experience you had. Perhaps, you’ll feel a sense of fondness or gratitude towards it. Rather than just walking past the tree, you’ve started to build a relationship with it. From this initial spark, your relationships with nature can continue to grow. In our programs, you will discover powerful ways to expand your personal understanding of the many aspects of nature.

Personal Development Guided by Nature

Nature connection is a powerful tool for unlocking your own personal development. In a busy world, renewing your connection with nature restores peace, motivation, inspiration, and clarity.

Through time-honoured traditions and novel twists on outdoor activities, Polaris participants discover a world of wonder and excitement. As practical and skills and confidence grow, we see participants reach beyond their old limits.

Our private mentorship and personal development programs hone in on the transformative power of nature connection. We’ve seen our participants:

  • Become clear and confident about major life decisions.
  • Make positive growth in life skills and self-care routines that previously seemed unattainable.
  • Become better at recognizing and satisfying personal physical, emotional, and social needs.
  • Understand and express their authentic selves and true values.
  • Gain greater independence and set healthy boundaries in relationships.
  • Start new careers or schooling programs aligned with their passions.
  • Share their newfound knowledge with others and build a community of like-minded friends.

If you’re feeling lost in one or more aspects of your life, Polaris Nature School can help restore your clarity. We will guide you in finding your own answers based in self-awareness and intuition. See our private mentorship and personal development programs to start your journey.
