If you are looking for a rewarding, profitable activity for your son/daughter, then I can highly recommend RYA centres for sailing/windsurfing instruction.
Sailing has four stages, starting from the very basics of sailing and some centres will take children from as young as 6, others 8. These courses are often taught in groups of 12, or very often you can book private courses, obviously at a higher price. Having said that, the benefits of a smaller group or one- to one cannot be underestimated as in a group of 12 the children share boats and so actually only get half the experience of actually being in charge of the boat, whereas one to one, obviously they get 100% of the opportunity, without the time wasting element that comes whenever a group of children get together! There are RYA centres around the coastline in the UK - and abroad too. See here for you nearest centre. Water sports encourage resilience, courage, problem solving, patience, perseverance, endurance and much more! If you are down near Eastbourne, either to live or on holiday, then I can recommend the Buzz Active centre down by Princes Park. Being a council run centre, the prices are somewhat cheaper than the private centres. They have a lovely lake for beginners or if the weather is rough and the sea for more challenge. The staff are very friendly. You don't have to book for a course, you can just book for a session, either a taster or a one off lesson for 1.5/2/3 hours. They do windsurfing, sailing and SUP (stand up paddle boarding). If kayaking is more your thing, then their sister company operates down near the Seven Sisters Country Park. See their website here for more information.

Welcome!After studying for an Early Years Specialism degree (B.Ed. Hons), and teaching in mainstream education, I home-educated my own children, after my husband and I were persuaded of the need to take responsibility for bringing up our children 'in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.'
