Program Specific Information

1. Before coming to the program, divide the students into small working groups (4 to 6 per group).

2. Before coming, remind students:
  • “travel light” - you need to carry everything you bring
  • the program takes place indoors - dress in layers so coats can be placed in knapsacks
  • you are walking in private, not public space - following instructions is very important!
  • bring a bottle of water - no drinking fountains
  • this program is not “an outing”, it is a “work day” - lots of energy is needed
  • all program materials, including pencils and clipboards, are provided
3. Students need two TTC tickets: one to get to the program and one to return to school.
