- The Lenhoksin (sp?) Trail at Goshen Scout Camps (Virginia) has as one of the
- event areas a COPE course (in addition to backpacking, spelunking, rock
- climbing, and more). I do not know much about it. You can probably talk
- with your local council about "High Adventure Areas" to find out more
- about Goshen Scouts Camps' Lenhoksin Trail.

- I hope this helps.
