Air TravelOptions

The trip to Minnesuing Acres is just as beautiful as the lodge itself—even by plane.

If you desire, we’d be happy to arrange charter transportation for you and your group.

There are several aircraft options from which you can choose. Or, we can accommodate

your company plane. Aircraft can take off and land at a variety of nearby airstrips,

including our own Minnesuing Field. It’s a 5,500-ft. private runway just 10 minutes

from the lodge, and we’ll provide transportation both coming and going. We look

forward to serving you!

If you have guests flying in to your event, we will be happy to provide shuttle service

to Duluth International Airport for an additional fee. Just provide us with the flight

information and we will take care of your guests’ transportation needs.

For more air and ground transportation information, please contact

the lodge manager at (715) 374-2262.


The Minnesuing Acres lodge was brilliantly conceived and laid out by none other than

Curt Carlson himself. A born leader and motivator, he knew the kind of environment

that was needed to produce successful meetings and rejuvenated team members.

A key ingredient in this formula is a restful night’s sleep. Most Minnesuing guest rooms

feature Select Comfort® beds, plush bedding and a private bathroom. Each is decorated

in lodge design, reflecting the rustic beauty of our natural surroundings. All rooms have

hairdryers, irons, ironing boards, coffee pots, and robes. We are also pleased to offer

organic, earth-friendly amenities—shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotion.

To help our clients stay connected to the office, each guest room is equipped with

wireless high-speed Internet access, and our Conference Center and Great Hall also

feature wireless Internet access. In addition, we have installed new equipment on our

grounds that will create a more powerful signal for cell phones, ensuring that our

guests have the coverage they need when making and receiving wireless calls.

After reviewing the room options (inside), please complete the Lodging Form (on back),

copy it and fax the copy to our attention. We will compile an alphabetical listing of

guest names and room numbers, and post it inside the front door at our main entrance.

When your group arrives, you will be welcomed and shown to your rooms. As an added

personal touch, guest names will be placed on each door.

MINNESUING TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITIESEveryone knows a bit of fun and friendly competition builds relationships. At Minnesuing Acres, this sets

us apart from the rest. We would be happy to facilitate one of our fantastic teambuilding activities for your

group. Simply select from the options listed here and include the requested activities as part of

your Agenda.

The Minnesuing Mallard*This whole group activity gives each team clues to help them in a rescue mission. Clues require deci-

phering skills as well as equipment such as a compass, GPS unit, 2-way radios and various modes of

transportation. Clues will be found in some of the most remote locations on the beautiful grounds of

Minnesuing Acres.

Minnesuing Olympics*Whether it is winter or summer, we can facilitate an Olympic relay race to remember. Determine the

skills of your team members and plug them into the appropriate leg of the race and let the fun begin.

The way this one ends, it’s always a close finish!

Scavenger Hunt*Gather your team and your camera and go out on a search mission to find your clues and get a picture

of your team members with your clues. You’ll be sure to find some unusual settings and humorous situ-

ations. We’ll even provide the disposable cameras and film developing.

Raft Building*If your team was given the right materials could they construct a raft that actually floats as well as navi-

gate the waters of Lake Minnesuing to the finish line? We think they can!

Garage Wars*Everyone has ridden a bike, right? How many of you can take a disassembled bike and put it back

together with the help of your team? Remember, your competitors are working fast and furious to get

the product to market faster!

The Amazing Minnesuing Race*Our version of the hit TV show. Your team will be traveling to the most remote corners of the lodge

property. You will be performing amazing tasks and be challenged in unique and special ways. Watch

out for Yields and Detours that could delay your mission to get to the final pit stop first!


Building Bridges*An event that can be done by two teams going head to head or one team going against the clock.

The charge is to get just the right amount of a special product to an area just across a creek!

Giants Thumb*The team challenge is to take a tire that is around a pole and simply move it to an adjacent pole.

Are you tall enough?

Blind Maze*Each blindfolded team member must navigate through a wooded maze to safety, either individually

or as a team, under the direction of your designated leader.

Calculator*Think you’re good with numbers? This calculator keypad is so big that you push the keys with your

feet. Solve the given equation as a team by moving around the giant keypad.

Hear No Evil – See No Evil*Teams go head to head to see who can retrieve their designated object first. Each team member has a

different role and set of limitations. Blocking out distractions and clear communication is the key.

Yesterday’s News*Each team is given a newspaper and a roll of tape. They are given a short time frame to strategize and

then an even shorter time to construct the tallest self supporting structure. Sounds like just another day

at the office!

Winter Ice Olympics*A combination of five winter events for a true Olympic experience, including Turkey Bowling, Ice

Shuffleboard, Broomball Shot, Hockey Shot and Snow Golf.

EXECUTIVE CHALLENGE COURSEOur Executive Challenge Course, available during summer and fall, is a series of low-risk activities that

will bring your team closer together and improve work efficiency and communication. Give it a try—

it’s a sure-fire way to build camaraderie! A Minnesuing Acres instructor will lead your group through:

Activity #1 – The Acid RiverThe goal is to get all of your team members across the “acid river,” with three boards that must fit into

designated slots. The boards cannot touch the “acid,” nor can the participants!

Activity #2 – Climbing WallGetting the whole team over this 11-foot wall takes smarts as well as strength! You must strategize on

who will be the easiest to get over the wall and who will be the toughest—and execute accordingly.

Activity #3 – Birthday LogA real communication challenge! Participants are randomly perched on a log and then receive their

instructions: to arrange themselves by birth date on the log, without talking or stepping off.

Activity #4 – The SwingGet ready to deliver your best Tarzan impression! Starting from a platform on one side, participants

swing on a rope, Tarzan-style, and cross a small creek to safely reach the other side.

Activity #5 – Trust FallFrom four feet up, team members stand with their heels on the edge of a platform and free-fall back-

wards into the waiting arms of their benevolent mates. You can trust them…can’t you?

Activity #6 – Spider WebStep aside, Spider Man! Rope is strung together between trees, resembling a spider web. Team members

must use problem-solving techniques to assist their designated “spiders” through the holes.

Activity #7 – Three PlatformsStarting with three platforms – A, B and C – group members must travel from A to B to C on a simple board.

But, as participants soon discover, each platform gets a little farther away and smaller in size. Gotcha!

Activity #8 – The “V”Talk about bonding! Two group members stand, facing each other, on two cables that are three feet off

the ground in the shape of a V. They have to move and balance each other—hands locked—from the

closed end of the V to the wider open end without falling off.

Activity #9 – Paul Bunyan Ski EventParticipants from each team stand on wooden “ski” planks and hold onto “poles” made of rope. The

goal is to figure out how to ski together on the same equipment, while racing the other team. Super-

sized fun!

Activity #10 – The Mohawk WalkTraverse across a cable suspended between three trees, each leg getting longer and more challenging.

Activity #11 – The Balancing PlatformsUse two different balancing platforms to test your ability to move as a group.

Up for a little adventure? If you’d like to try our Executive Challenge Course, please indicate it on your Agenda.

Our home-cooked food is just as impressive as our scenic surroundings and charming lodge.

Each meal we serve, and every pastry we bake, is created from the freshest ingredients and hand

prepared with passion and professionalism. What else would you expect from Minnesuing?

BREAKSEveryone needs a little break—or two! We’ll serve your group beverages and snacks

(Minnesuing’s famous cookies, bars, smoothies, fruit, etc.) twice daily. Together, we can

determine the best break times.

COCKTAIL HOURTasty hors d’oeuvres will be selected, prepared and served by our chef. A full bar is available

for your use, with alcohol charged separately. Sodas, bottled water and juices are also

available. For an added twist, request service on our island house, top of the boathouse, or

lower boathouse.
