In 2007 I signed up to be the coordinator for a foreign exchange organization and it was a blast. They had to do a one month camp here then when that was completed they moved to other areas of the U.S. We ended up keeping one with us from Germany-a 16 year old boy-and loved it. They are so much fun, we never had any behavior issues with them, and it was great experience to see the things we take for granted as being so new to them. Just last week he came back for another visit and it was great to see him again-this is an experience I think you and your family will love. My two boys enjoyed it tremendously :)
