Lenhok'sin Outposts

Foxfire
Based on the series of books by the same name, Foxfire is set in 1913 Appalachia and is one of our most popular outposts. Try your hand at the lost art of blacksmithing. You can make something as simple as an “S” hook or as complex as a knife blade. Other opportunities include woodworking, bone carving, candle dipping, stone carving, and leatherwork. Spend the day building and creating or just relaxing in the cool waters of Kelso Spring.

Mountain Man
The fur trappers of the early 1800's blazed the way for the settlement of the West. At this Outpost, you will be able to shoot our black powder rifle, throw tomahawks and knives, and listen to our mountain man weave his tall tales. Make sure that you have an item of value with a good story so that you can trade with the Mountain Man, a true bartering master.

Lumberjack
Lumberjack offers your crew the chance to try some of the games and competitions that the loggers of the 1890's enjoyed. During the day, throw double bitted axes, compete in two man cross-cut sawing, work on a real log cabin, play some period games, and, of course, with just a pair of gaffs and a belt, work your way up to the top of our tree climb. After a day of chopping and sawing, relax around the campfire while enjoying food and music provided by your crew and our Lumberjacks

Rock Climbing
The Rock Climbing Outpost is tough. When you climb to the top, you have truly met High Adventure. Safety is always our number one concern and at this Outpost it is paramount. Whether you are climbing up or rappelling down, you will be in good hands. Our staff is trained at the BSA's National Camping School by climbing experts, so even if you are stuck between a rock and a hard place or at the end of your rope, you're in good hands. Spend a few hours at this natural rock outcropping and you'll be close to an expert climber.

Mountain Biking
Hold on tight!!!! You're in for an exciting ride at Mountain Biking outpost. Spend the afternoon riding the trails of the Goshen Scout Reservation and the evening relaxing, knowing that you have tested your stamina and riding ability on our scenic trails.
