The Roberta Bondar Foundation recognizes Individual Summer Camps registered for the Summer Camp Bondar Challenge, and selects winners from every participating organization.
We also chose Overall Category Winners from each GEM level across all camps to see images in a cross-country Summer Camp Bondar Challenge.
Any of these winning images may be featured in the Foundation’s Travelling Exhibition and Learning Experience at selected venues in Canada and internationally.
