Step back in time to the great Wagon Train era.  After listening to a brief overview of the history, students will embark on a one mile voyage across Camp Tyler.  While working in teams students will pull wooden wagons full of goods in search of the new found destination.  During the migration west the teams will be faced with many hardships along the rough terrain. Working together, they must decide if giving away their goods to fellow voyagers will help them find their way.  Once they arrive at the new land, they must measure off half an acre of land, build a shelter and then cook their own lunch just like real pioneers. 
Once your students have participated in this program, they will have a great understanding of the real life of traveling pioneers.  Don't miss out!
