Kids Snowboarding for Two
Snowboarding is brilliant fun, but in most of Britain we don't get much snow! Moving to Norway would be a bit over the top though, so instead we've sorted out this cool snowboarding experience at SnowDome, the UKs top real snow centre. It's perfect for complete beginners, whether you just want to try out something new or whether you want to get some practice in before going on holiday. First off your instructor will run through all the safety stuff and go over all the equipment. Then you'll try out some basic moves and find out whether you're a 'regular foot' or 'goofy foot' - that is, whether your leading leg is your left or your right (and dont worry - there's nothing wrong with being goofy footed!). Move onto gaining control of the toe edge of the board and going down the slope zigzagging from left to right and back again - the 'toe side falling leaf' manoeuvre. Don't worry if it sounds a bit hard - your instructor will give you loads of help and you''ll have a great time.

Kids Cowboy Adventure for Six
Transport yourself back to the days of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with this wild west adventure for the cowboy or cowgirl in you. Your experience begins with a welcome and introduction to the Western Paint horses, Boston, Gypsy and friends. You'll meet your own trusty steed, saddle up and head off for a one hour riding lesson in the Western Riding Arena - western style. It's easier to learn and feels more secure than riding English-style, so it's great even for beginners. Next you'll be shown how to try your luck at lassoing the cow-horns, the finally it's time for a well-earned feast of ranch burger and beans. You'll also get certificates to take home to show everyone that you're official Junior Cowboys.

Kids Kayaking for Four
Try out one of the fastest growing water sports and get to grips with paddling a kayak in a group environment. During the session, you can both expect to learn the basics of paddle and boat control as well as general river safety, with instruction taking place in a safe boating area two to three feet deep. Once the basics are mastered, head out into calm sections of the river under the supervision of qualified instructors. Take a trip through the beautiful Jephson Gardens and local nature reserve to explore and participate in games and challenges to put your new skills to the test. Kayaks were originally developed by indigenous people of Arctic regions, who used the boats to hunt on inland lakes, rivers and coastal waters. The first kayaks consisted of stitched animal skins such as seal stretched over a wooden frame. Don't worry, today they are a little more high tech, made from rotomoulded plastic, wood, fabric over wooden or aluminum frame, fiberglass, Kevlar or carbon fibre.

Private Family Sightseeing Flight over London
This experience gives you a unique perspective on the sights of London - and one that doesn't involve being either cooped up on the tube or jostled on crowded pavements. After a short pre-flight briefing your party of four will board a Piper Seneca twin-engine plane for a fantastic half hour sightseeing trip. After taking off in Essex you'll follow the Thames west into the heart of the city, getting a view of the capital that most people only see on the opening titles of EastEnders. You'll see the Millennium Dome, Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, the towers at Canary Wharf, the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament, then turn north to fly over Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and the royal parks, before heading back east to land in Essex. You'll get an amazing perspective on the geography of the city and the beauty of its landmarks - and whether you're tourists or Londoners born and bred, you'll see the capital in a whole new way.
