The Ontario Envirothon is an opportunity to take what you’ve learned in books and in the classroom out there—under the sky, in the forest, at the lake—and using your smarts and your senses along with like-minded peers, interact with nature directly.
But the Envirothon is more than a competition that tests your team’s environmental smarts. A lot of what’s fun and interesting about joining an Envirothon team is the camaraderie and friendship while learning, exploring and preparing for the big day. Learn more about the Envirothon Challenge here.
As part of an Envirothon team you will:
• Participate in fun field testing competitions
• Take part in outdoor workshops
• Find solutions to environmental problems
• Gain exposure to career opportunities
