[Philmont] Lenhok'sin High Adventure camp info

I have a hot date with 80 Scouts tonight, so this will be necessarily
brief. Lenhok'sin Trail is a one week trek primarily on the mountains
around Goshen Scout Reservation, which is the National Capital Area
Council Summer Camp. The Reservation includes 5 different camps, and
the LT trekking Crews stop in for various activities such as canoeing,
swimming, wall-climbing, etc. The typical trek is not very long,
somewhere between 25 and 35 miles, and the "mountains" are more
foothills than actual mountains. It is, however, much more like
Philmont than other such Council treks because each day has at least one
major backcountry program, such as blacksmithing or Foxfire. By all
accounts, these backcountry programs are much longer, in-depth, and (for
those reasons) better than the equivalent programs at Philmont. For
this reason, the LT treks have a pretty good reputation as excellent
stand-alone experiences in themselves, not just to be a mini-Philmont or
Philmont prep trek. The only universal complaint is the heat and
humidity associated with summertime in mid-Virginia.

I'm sure others will be able to comment further.
