Typically, a third of your fee goes to your experience, and includes accommodations, food, field trips, and teaching. It is all spent within the community itself. The remaining two thirds goes directly to our operations, and helps us provide our polar bears with the best care possible. With us you only need to dress appropriately for the season you spend here (and we’ll be pleased to advise you on that). All research equipment and work supplies are provided on-site.

About Program

We believe that polar bears belong in the wild, but when they need human care to survive, we are dedicated to giving them the very best. The Habitat is the only care facility in the world solely dedicated to polar bears. Since 2004, we have been working with volunteers and academics to raise the standard of care for bears who can’t survive in the wild.

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.
