Bon Echo Through The Eyes Of A Child: Kidizoom Action Cam Review

We do a lot of exploring and recently the kids have been asking me to hand over my Nikon for them to snap some pictures. Sometimes this is fine if we are strolling along a nature path or playing in the backyard. There are times where I cannot trust my Nikon in wee little hands. Saying “no” is hard, I want our kids to explore photography and be creative through a lens.

Exploring Bon Echo Provincial Park

This summer we took a trip to Bon Echo Provincial Park in Ontario. It was a huge highlight of our summer. We were there when Miss C was a baby but seeing it through the eyes of children, was a whole experience in its own.

It quickly became one of my new favourite places to explore in Ontario. Bon Echo is so rich in History, every corner you turn has a story to tell. The backdrop of the 100 metre high Mazinaw Rock that features over 260 Aboriginal pictographs is just one highlight tourist head to Bon Echo for.

We got to experience these features up close and personal by renting a kayak and some SUP boards.

This is a tribute that was carved into the rock face to Walt Whitman by Flora MacDonald back in the early 1919. It took two Scotland stonemasons all summer to carve these tribute into the Mazinaw Rock.

In 1955 the property was donated to the Province of Ontario, the biggest donation in Canadian history to date.

Since the Kidizoom Action Cam is waterproof, I had no worries about it getting wet. When the Kidizoom Action Cam is in its waterproof case they can take videos and pictures up to 6′ underwater.

The Kidizoom Action Cam was easy enough for our 4 year-old to use with little help from mommy. As you can see, he did a fabulous job capturing these moments during our trip to Bon Echo Provincial Park.
