Trail of the Pioneers

What supplies will you need for your Oregon Trail adventure? Pack your wagon and harness the oxen, it's time to live the roleplaying game of Oregon Trail Adventure.

Walk the actual trail of the Oregon pioneers. Explore their history and adventures as we discover what life was like in the Oregon Territory.

The Pioneer Adventure

Mixing readings from pioneer diaries with hands on projects such as safe whittling, outdoor cooking, quilting and cross-stitching, we begin to recreate the journey of the Oregon Trail from the pages of our past.

All this plus we offer plenty of down home fun and good times: from old fashioned music to playing the old school games of the pioneers of the Oregon Trail.

Payment Plans

A Smile

We help children to feel like that group of kids wandering country backyards 50 years ago: independent, tired, muddy, wet and happy from the woods and wild. We are acutely aware of full and real hazards of the out of doors after years of working in environmental education. We try to move away from the highly structured and limiting tolerances of conventional environmental education while keeping kids truly safe but not encapsulated from, or phobic of nature. We are deep patriots to the value of offering guided yet very free and transparent experiences for kids. We believe it is okay to be thirsty at times, cold at times, and wet at times. It builds empathy and care for the gifts of life. It fosters adventure and sincere accomplishment. We also believe it is critical to feel supported and cared for as they truly explore their passion and responsibility. And through a healthy life immersed in nature, they test the limits and great potential of the often untapped physical and emotional resiliency they possess.
