What Is American Discovery?
American Discovery is an international home-stay organization that has many fun and exciting programs for families in Oregon, Washington, California, and Colorado. Our programs provide a way for students from different countries to connect with American families. It is a perfect way to share your culture, hobbies, and your hometown — whether you are in the US, France, or Spain!
Our Goal
Our goal at American Discovery is to create friendships between families of different countries. We hope these friendships will last a lifetime. We wish for every student who visits the US to have a chance to experience the uniqueness of its culture and diversity of its people. In this way each student can make their own American discovery. Since each student is also an ambassador of his or her country, we hope our American families will gain a greater love for Europe as well.
Ready for An Adventure?
Since 1992, thousands of families have developed amazing friendships with our students and you could be next. So if you're ready to join us for a rewarding adventure that could last a lifetime, call us at 541-302-3393 or send us an email!
Friendship
Although many students do not know each other before their summer trip, they quickly become friends -- possibly for life!
Adventure
Experience the thrill of rafting down roaring rapids in Oregon or the rush of a standout water park in California!
Sports
Enjoy an American Classic, the traditional game of baseball. Maybe even catch a ball and get it signed by a professional!
Sightsee
Tour some of the most beautiful cities of the West Coast and enjoy shopping & dining at America's favorite stores and restaurants.
Host A Student
Host families are the most important component of our homestay programs. Their warmth and generosity are what makes the homestay experience so meaningful and memorable for the French and Spanish students.
Becoming a host family is easy. All it requires is a desire to share your home and 2-3 weeks of your life with a foreign student. The commitment you make to host a foreign student can bring your family joy for years to come. When all is said, who knows, you may even end up traveling to visit your foreign student in their country! Read what people are saying.
