Common Questions
Can I host during the summer months only?
Yes, you can! One of the benefits of hosting with Famworld Adventures is that you have a choice to host when you want. Whether it be during the school year or through the summer months we have hosting for you.
May I host more than one guest at a time?
Yes. You must also advise Famworld if you are hosting other guests while hosting for Famworld.
How long should I expect to host for?
You are in complete control of how long you want to host. You may decide to only host for a month or week during the summer or host all year round. The decision is up to you. You will be able to use the online system to help you manage all hosting opportunities. However, once you have committed to hosting you are expected to follow it through to completion.
Do I need to have teenage kids in order to host?
No, we get requests for people of all ages.
How will I get notified of hosting opportunities?
You will get notified of any hosting opportunities via email. The email will contain a link to view all of the hosting opportunity details to help you decide if you want to accept it. You also have the option to request more information and then accept or reject the hosting. If you need time to review it you can select the "considering hosting" option.
How does the process of hosting work?
Once you have registered as a host family, you can manage all aspects of your hosting online. When suitable hosting opportunities become available you will receive an email with an overview and a link to the hosting opportunity details. You can then review and decide whether to accept this hosting or not. The hosting opportunity often goes out to a number of host families so it is important to review the hosting opportunity when you get the email to avoid missing out on the hosting.
Do I need to complete Garda Vetting to become a host family?
Completing Police vetting is part of the process and is required before you can host. We supply the relevant forms that need to be filled in, and you will work closely with a member of staff to ensure that you complete the process stress-free. Your Garda Vetting will last you for 5 years.
