Put in on your calendar. Plan on having a good time. Many foreign students and their families have reported very positive experiences with the programs. These programs are organized by church groups in order to make it possible for students from other countries to have an affordable vacation during the holiday break from school, to see some other part of the United States, and to experience a principal American holiday with an American family. Details about the programs vary.
