Envirothon encourages young people to learn more about the environment both in and out of the classroom. In a group setting, participants learn from one another, from resource professionals, and from nature itself. Envirothon competitions provide young people with opportunities to meet others who share their interests.
Envirothon is open to high school students enrolled in Levels 1, 2 and 3, and youth of eligible age who are members of community groups with an environmental focus. Students from a school's junior high feeder school may be eligible to compete. The registration fee is $250 per team ($50 per student). This fee helps offset the cost of meals, materials and accommodations for students and teacher/sponsors.
Winners of the provincial competition will be eligible to compete in the 2008 Canon Envirothon at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona July 28—Aug. 3. |
