Partner Programs - Specifically for Camps
The Summer Camp Bondar Challenge
The Roberta Bondar Foundation has partnered with the Canadian Camping Association to launch the Summer Camp Bondar Challenge. Modelled after the successful school-based Bondar Challenge, it is focused on campers using a camera as a tool and gateway to learning about the environment. Campers are challenged to capture an image in their environment that relates to an aspect of biodiversity and then write a statement to accompany their photo.
