Who Comes On The Wagon Train
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.

SEVERAL SMALL GROUPS JOIN US:
Grandparents often come with just their grand kids. 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 Anniversary together, by wagon train. Fort
Seward, Inc. recommends that those parents with infants and younger children be
mentally and materially prepared to cope without modern conveniences.
VARIOUS PEOPLE FROM VARIOUS PLACES:
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. 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. The Staff members usually wear a same color staff neck
scarf during the wagon train to make them easier to pick out. Their leather
name tags will also have the word “Staff” or “Teamster” on it.
