Leader In Training
The LIT program is an intense four weeks of climbing, scrambling, kayaking and exploring the mountains with
leadership experiences mixed in throughout. As well, some big trips and summit attempts will be
made! For many participants, LIT is the experience of a lifetime and gives a whole new meaning to the word fun!
During the month, the LIT's will spend about half of their time living at the Sheiling Mountain Lodge, home of COE,
and the other half camping either in the backcountry or with the van on road trips.
