Students form wagon companies to traverse the famous Overland Trail. They plot their routes West on a map and strategize for the perils of this rough trip. They will purchase a wagon and load it with supplies for survival. At the resting-up camp, they churn butter, make pioneer sweets and see who is best at rolling hoops. Feel free to bring your own camera to take pictures of students in costume or purchase a disposable camera from us.
