MEA Break Activities in Duluth

0

Minnesota Educator Academy (MEA) is where our beloved teachers gather together the third Thursday of October every year. Teachers attend to continue learning for themselves, to network, and to gain free resources. This means that many students in Minnesota get a long weekend! If you have the privilege of spending a long MEA weekend with your kids and are looking for memorable experiences in Duluth, we have compiled a few ideas for you!

{Duluth is also a popular destination for other families in MN to visit during their time off.  So, locals, don’t be surprised if you see extra people around your favorite places.}
