LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
The Inner City Outtripping Centre’s Leadership Program offers a unique outdoor experience for young
people 13 to 24 years of age. (Participants must be 13 years old as of July 1, 2009.) Program activities
focus on canoeing, wilderness, and leadership skills.
The ICOC is based at Sunnyside Gus Ryder Pool, on Lakeshore Boulevard at Parkside Drive (see map
below). Our headquarters are on the south side of the building facing the boardwalk and Sunnyside
beach. This location is accessible by TTC (80 Queensway bus from Keele Station, or 501 Queen/508
Lakeshore streetcar to Parkside Drive). Program activities take place in the pool, on Lake Ontario and
the Humber River, and may include a day trip to the Toronto Island challenge course. We travel two hours
north of Toronto to McCrae Lake Provincial Wilderness Area for our four-day canoe trip, where we travel by
canoe and camp in tents.
The Leadership Program is held weekdays from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Three two-week sessions are offered.
Participants go on a four-day canoe trip during the second week of each session.
• Session 1 – July 6 to 17 (trip: July 14 to 17)
• Session 2 – July 20 to 31 (trip: July 28 to 31)
• Session 3 – Aug 4 to 14 (trip: Aug 11 to 14)
The total cost to participants is $294. The Welcome Policy may apply, please inquire. This fee covers the
cost of food, transportation, and consumables for the four-day canoe trip and other program activities.
