America's Field Trip 2025
America’s Field Trip is a contest that invites students across the country in grades 3–12 to be part of America’s 250th anniversary by sharing their perspectives on what America means to them — with the opportunity to earn an unforgettable field trip experience at some of the nation’s most iconic historic and cultural landmarks.
​
Students are asked to submit writing or original artwork in response to the contest’s prompt: “What does America mean to you?”
