Activities

Toronto Island Challenge Course (TICC)

At the Toronto Island Challenge Course (TICC) we practice the principle of Challenge By Choice; elements are completely voluntary, and participants are encouraged to set their own personal and team goals and step outside of their comfort zone with the support of our staff and their peers. We focus our program around the needs of your group, whether that is teamwork, communication, leadership, or just having fun. Our programming is tailored towards team building, leadership development, and conflict resolution for school groups, staff training, youth organizations, corporate events, and camp retreats. We also offer recreational programming for events such as birthday parties and bucket-list parties.

TICC offers low elements which are geared towards team building, problem solving, and conflict resolution. Participants must work together to complete a team challenge by utilizing communication, planning, and leadership skills. The Toronto Island High Ropes Challenge Course consists of both team and individual elements which are 25-30 feet in the air. The high elements provide participants with an opportunity to meet a unique challenge and work on teamwork skills.

TICC is open from April to December.

Please contact us for up to date pricing and additional course information.

* Participants must be 6 years of age or older.
