8/7 – Six Flags
8/9 - San Francisco Bay Cruise - Tour around Alcatraz
8/14 - Sunsplash (host families please drop them off at Sunsplash, no bus for this trip).
8/16 - San Francisco City Tour

Host families are asked to provide meals, a spare bed (spare room not required) and bring them to a drop off location for the trips, and pick them up from one of the locations after the trip is done in the evening.  Host siblings welcome to attend trips at discounted rates already secured by American Discovery (really good rates). Carpooling for siblings or other family members may be required if there is not enough room on our 56 passenger bus.

It's a ton of fun, and a great cultural experience for the whole family.
