FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS ARE WELCOME:
Everyone who is interested. We have been Blessed with all kinds of folks. Many looking for a nice family vacation. Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Farmers, Bankers, Craftsmen, Salemen, Handymen, Nurses, Anybody! Mom's and Dad's that hold all sorts of jobs come with their teens and younger children. Single Mom's or Dad's come with their children just to spend some quality time with them.

Grandparents often come with just their grandkids. Teachers often come with a group of Teachers for an interesting summer vacation. We have had small 4-H groups, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, College groups working on class credits, Family Wedding groups (we have had two weddings on our wagon train since 1969) and even a Family group that was celebrating a 50th Wedding Anneversary together, by wagon train.

Since 1969 people from all over the United States and foreign countries have participated in the Fort Seward Wagon Train. Both families and individuals are encouraged. Our youngest passenger has been a five-month old baby and our oldest passenger was over 80. There are no restrictions on age, however, Fort Seward, Inc. requires that those under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Furthermore, Fort Seward, Inc. recommends that those parents with infants and younger children be mentally and materially prepared to cope without modern conveniences.

NOTE: Some parents have found it difficult to participate with children under four years of age.

THE WAGON TRAIN STAFF:
The wagon train staff is selected by the board of directors from wagon train regulars. The staff makes the many necessary preparations and fills supervisory positions on the wagon train. Many staff members volunteer and donate their hours of hard work.
