Hosting 2018

thank you for considering this request! info below is the most up-to-date available
feel free to contact us at 810-689-4251 / 810-966-6976
We are hosting 60-member, all-male color guard from Genk, Germany July 13-17. We are hoping your family would be able to help by hosting 2 or more guests for this time. We did this a few summers ago, and many of our host families made friends with whom we still regularly correspond. Most of our visitors speak some English, and many, better than us! PLEASE take advantage of this opportunity, not to help *us*, but because we know you will get so much from the experience!

You would be expected to provide a clean place to sleep, all meals while our guests are with us, as well as some Port Huron Hospitality while our guests are in town. Show them some neat things about the Blue Water Area! Please confirm or call for more information at 810-689-4251, 810-966-6976. Thanks!

What does this entail? Well...
* First, they need a clean place to sleep for three nights. If *your* child were traveling overseas, what kind of accommodations would you hope *their* hosts provide? For *my* family, my own kids will be giving up beds and sleeping in the basement or in the camper while the guests get the beds. We will also likely have some good air mattresses to put more than one in each room.
* All meals during their stay need to be accounted for. There will be a potluck dinner on Sunday night at the school, and so your assistance in providing dish to pass for your guests and family (plus some extra). Details will be coordinated later
* Transportation to the Friday social activity and the Saturday performance (sometimes transportation can be arranged by an additional person. just let us know)
* Show them a bit of Port Huron and the Blue Water Area.. Take them to the beach, take them to the mall, take them out on a boat...
* Be a great host!
