Introducing

For the past 15 years, the MN Field Trip & Activity Library has devoted 100% of our efforts in serving the activity needs of educators, schools, homeschool co-ops and tour operators for groups of all ages. Our specialty is helping planners find educational (standards-based) and recreational field trips, school assemblies, adventures, tours and fundraisers for their groups. Additionally, in 2018 LetsDoMN was launched as a resource for event planners to discover entertainment, event services and corporate team-building challenges.

During our years of growth, we have heard countless times, statements like these; “What I really need is a Field Trip Library for MY state! And “How long until you create LetsDoSD?” The change of our name brings both of our resources together under FIELD TRIP ADVENTURES naturally accommodating the educational and recreational needs of group planners both inside & outside the borders of Minnesota. We hope you enjoy our new site, and want to assure you that we are committed to being the best, most convenient and group-friendly free resource available to group planners today!
