A unique summer adventure
On the trail with 4-H Wagon Train: teaching history, building leaders and creating remarkable outdoor experiences for youth and families!
Testimonials
“I highly recommend the Wagon Train trek, not because it was easy or even always fun, but because it made me better. I was impressed observing a group of people ages 9-70 learn to live outside together, and each do their part to make the trek.”
“There are those magical moments along the trail where we encounter a surprise visitor, cross through a field of wildflowers or stop to cool our toes in a crystal-clear stream.”
“Dad so enjoyed his associations with so many of you and his extended Wagon Train Family. It was an annual highlight for my parents for many, many years - and something of a legacy event...for Dad.”

About Us
We are 4-H Wagon Train
Every year since 1982, the Washington County 4-H Wagon Train has provided opportunities for youth to experience a living history though club events and our annual one-week camp.
As the only 4-H Wagon Train club in the country we provide a one of a kind experience.
We maintain a strong core of invested and dedicated families; the youth of the 80's are now dedicated adult volunteers who participate with their families.
We create unique achievable goals, and provide a safe and structured path to learning, problem-solving and personal growth.
Youth who have flourished through 4-H Wagon Train now share their ability to lead, provide acceptance, and problem-solve.
An outreach program that values and respects the diversity of our membership, and provides stewardship of the natural world.
Lasting partnerships and friendships.
