There are many things families can do while hosting a German GAPP student. There are no specific "trip" requirements for the student and families. Different families do different activities and you as a host do not have to play by a certain script. You get the opportunity to write your own! The German GAPP student should experience regular American life. Some "normal" things are going to the grocery store, going shopping, getting a car wash, going to the bank, etc.
