Older Kids Activities?

aprilfamily
By aprilfamily

I read lots of things on this board for younger kids, playgroups and such, but haven't seen much for older kids, say 10 and up. I have an 11 year old son and 13 year old daughter. Can anyone suggest some activities for them to get involved in to help them meet other kids their ages?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for the great ideas! I'm definitely going to check in to the swimming and tae kwon doe. The rugby sounds interesting, but the link isn't working. I'll try giving them a call if I can find a number.

We are planning on joining Dana Club within the next couple of weeks, so hopefully they can meet some kids there.

Not sure about daughter, but there is a football academy in Doha call Evolution soccer. Maybe you can try that out for your son.
