Same type of kids - now late teens.[/quote]

Kayaking has been great for my non competitive kid. He can paddle for hours, stopping occasionally to explore along the water’s edge and chatting & paddling with whomever we’re with that day. His anxiety just disappears.[/quote]

This sounds wonderful. Not OP but curious about this. Do you own a kayak? Where does he put in? Do you have to drive him there? Does he go alone? Do you feel safe letting him just head out alone, if so?[/quote]

Our whole family has kayaks, so DH or I go out with him. But you can rent them for not very much. It’s an easy water craft to learn, if you haven’t done it.

Maybe also look into rowing clubs if you just want something for your kid? They have weekend lessons that teach beginners to crew a 5-person boat over several weekends.[/quote]
