Being a Homestay host and teacher

I currently teach English online to overseas children and have been asked if I'd host a 12 year old for 2 weeks in the summer. It would include 2 hrs of English tuition a day Monday-Friday plus a couple of half days out.

That's all fine in principle. I'm just wondering about expenses for the days out. For example, we have a theme park down the road I could take him to. But he'd be bored doing that with a middle-aged lady, so it'd be more fun for him, if DS (similar age) came too. But I'm not sure who should cover the £80 cost of us both going too?

What I don't want to do is spend most of the money for hosting on taking him out and having to bring DS along for company. But at the same time DS getting 'free entry' on days out seems unreasonable too.

Does anyone do this and what do they do?

I think the parents should cover your admission and their son's but not your son's. I would send a list of possible activities with prices and ask the parents to choose what they want him to do.
