[philmont] Philmont's Kanik Program

I received the below e-mail from Rob Bayer today so it isn't too late to
organize a Spring Break (or weekend) trip to Philmont for Kanik. Youth
participants must be at least age 14 by 1/1/07 or be in at least the 8th
grade. I recommend Kanik without hesitation.

Information on Kanik is here:

Dear Troop 405 Scoutmaster,
I am writing you today on behalf of the Kanik program at Philmont Scout
Ranch.  We saw that your troop sent a crew out here several winters ago
and wanted to let you know about some of the great snow conditions this
year.
Just yesterday, in fact, we got over a foot of snow and some places in the
backcountry have up to 4 feet on the ground!  All of our crews so far this
winter have been building quinzees, taking day hikes on snow shoes or
skis, sledding, and just generally having a great time in the snow.  Since
the last time you were here, the Kanik program has received a number of
equipment and gear updates and, as before, we can outfit a crew with just
about everything needed to camp comfortably in the cold-as long as you
show up with long underwear, socks and a hat, we can take care of the
rest!
If you have any questions about the program, or if this sounds like
something your troop would be interested in doing again, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Yours in Scouting,
Rob Bayer
Kanik Coordinator, Philmont Scout Ranch
