Meet Luke Kolla, one of our Polar Bear Guides! From the tranquil shores of Cultus Lake, BC, Luke’s passion for the outdoors runs deep. When he’s not canoeing, camping, or playing with his two dogs and cat, he’s likely found immersed in the forest, mastering edible berry identification or honing ancient fire-making techniques. Luke’s guiding journey began in the Coast Mountains of BC, where he fell in love with paddling. This passion led him to spend over a decade guiding and teaching canoe expeditions through the rugged landscapes of British Columbia and the Yukon. It was during these backcountry adventures that his deep respect for bears took root. In 2021, Luke ventured into bear monitoring, working in remote northern regions, including the high Arctic. His expertise has supported conservation efforts across BC, Northern Alberta, and beyond. Today, Luke brings his wealth of wilderness knowledge and bear experience to Churchill Wild, where he continues to live his passion for the wild while guiding unforgettable adventures! #EmployeeHighlight #ChurchillWild

This Arctic fox wiggled its way through our fence at Seal River Heritage Lodge, giving us the most adorable puppy dog eyes, hoping for an invite inside. It was tough to resist, but we had to say no.

Déjà Polar Bear. An Award-Winning Arctic Return. https://lnkd.in/gSvwsbv8 Talk about déjà vu. As Ben and Rita Griffin’s plane touched down at Seal River Heritage Lodge in 2024 for their Summer Dual Lodge Safari, they could hardly believe their eyes. Just like their first Churchill Wild adventure in 2018 on the Arctic Safari, a polar bear was there to welcome them.

Meet Nicole Spinks, the energetic and enthusiastic Lodge Manager at Seal River Heritage Lodge! With her bubbly personality, go-getter attitude, and keen organizational skills, Nicole brings a unique blend of warmth and professionalism to the Churchill Wild team. Before joining us in 2018, Nicole’s path was anything but ordinary. A former competitive gymnast and national cheerleader, she later pursued a career in Developmental Psychology, working with young adults with autism. Eventually, her passion for adventure led her to the hospitality industry, where she served as a dining room manager at a fishing lodge and an onsite manager at a wilderness lodge in Tasmania, Australia. Nicole’s heart belongs to the wilderness. She cherishes the remoteness of the lodge, saying, “The landscape is breathtaking and constantly changing. Watching the tide reshape the coastline is incredible.” Her first polar bear encounter was unforgettable: “I couldn’t believe this was my life—witnessing these majestic creatures daily reminds me how small we are in the grand scheme of things.” Thank you, Nicole, for your dedication, passion, and love for the wild! #ChurchillWild #EmployeeHighlight
