Hi,

I am working at a summer school in Brighton this year and will be planning the activity program for the school.

Age group is 13 - 17 and would like some ideas of where I can recommend to the manager, for places to see, and things to do.

We can travel about 60 miles from Brighton.

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Cheers

Club shop for sure. I did this last year in London and it was quite amazing how much they would spend.

We've got quite a few National Trust sites worth a look locally.http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk

Bodiam Castle is always a good one. Standen is also interesting.

Thanks for those. Any other activities rather than places to see?

Where are the kids from? Local or foreign students?

Cable Skiing - (water sking round lake using above-head cables and not a boat) Thorpe Park, Surrey area i think, or the little one on the sea-front at Hove Lagoon. Really good fun for that age range.

Go-ape (tree zip-wires etc), but don't know if there is one near here, I use the one in Moors Valley, Ringwood, Dorset.

Guildford Spectrum, ice-skating, swimming, bowling complex etc.

Basically there loads to do....but not really in Sussex, cause we aint got the space to build them what with the South downs (A.O.N.B's) getting in the way of urbanisation.

Take em for a walk on sea-fronts or downs, there thats settled it.

What about Go Ape? There's one near Tunbridge Wells (think they were contemplating building one near Crawley too but I doubt that will be in place by summer). Not too far and should entertain teenagers. Probably.

Was going to say Amberley Chalk Pit Museum but someone already has, but I guess the obvious place for all it's historical and cultural splendour would be London.

Everywhere. Azerbaijan, China, Spain, Turkey. Right mixed bag.

Moulsecoomb.

I agree.. It will teach these snotty kids to learn some independence and stand on their own two feet
