PROGRAM HISTORYLenhok’sin was developed through out the late 70’s and early 80’s at Goshen Scout Reservation. It began as a trail program at a Boy Scout Camp and but eventurally it gained enough excitment that it took over as a full summer fully staffed independent camp. It was home to one of the Nation’s first COPE programs.
