The Bondar Challenge Summer Camp Goes Virtual With Riverview Park & Zoo And Otonabee Conservation
/The Riverview Park & Zoo (RPZ) and Otonabee Conservation have announced that they are collaborating to bring The Virtual Bondar Challenge Summer Camp during July and August.
The Bondar Challenge, developed by The Roberta Bondar Foundation, teaches youth about their natural environment through the art of photography. Over the course of twelve days, participants will learn a variety of photography techniques, ranging from basic to advanced, through the Google Classroom online forum.

Participants will then have the opportunity to apply these skills as they explore the scenic environments in their own backyard, neighborhood, on local trails, in parks, or conservation areas with their friends and family.
A series of weekly challenges and prizes encourages participants to spend time outside capturing the beauty of flora and fauna in our local environment. At the end of this program, participants will choose their best photograph for submission to The Roberta Bondar Foundation.
A panel of judges will evaluate photographs submitted by youth from across Canada, to select winning photographs for the summer of 2020. Winners will have their photograph featured on The Roberta Bondar Foundation’s website and will be awarded a variety of prizes.
