Fencing. There are 3 clubs near Gaithersburg and about 3 clubs near or somewhat near Fairfax. Class sizes are typically less than 10 students.

Also RC airplanes. Not the drones that you just pull out of a box and hit the go button - something that he will need to build/assemble and learn to hand-fly.

Are you looking for a club/team kind of community, or more of a solo activity? Something physically active, or not so much?

Ballet? My son did that for years and it was a good time for him.



I think horseback riding hurts boys.


Seriously? Have your read about how horses have been used throughout history? The women rode side saddle because it was deemed unlady like for them to ride like a man did. Ranchers throughout the US still use horses to round up cattle and get around their land and a lot of them are male.


But don’t those ranchers use a special saddle (tipping back a bit) so it doesn’t hurt them? I don’t think it’s the same saddle that people use in horseback riding for sport.

Start a catering company. Tell your kid to learn to cook a few dishes well and then sell it. Have a website. Use the money earned to combat hunger for homeless people or at risk youth etc.
