was trying to find a club with gym, tennis, pool or something with maybe a 3 month membership and things for teens to do but am striking out with the idea. brother and the sisterinlaw are going thru a terrible divorce. any ideas for something gift wise thats not just a trinket. parents would not go together but looking for something where atleast the kids get to do something with each. kids are 13 and 15

Given this may be a difficult time for them and in light of your thinking that an activity may be called for, why not an artistic endeavour, which would also allow them to express themselves (which might be especially needed right now)? Art classes, pottery classes,!music lessons, photography courses, cooking classes, etc. Having a passion can be a real godsend for a teen trying to find themselves (not to mention experiencing parental divorce).

Movie passes. That'll give them something they can escape to together and forget about the real world for a while.

An Escape Room is super fun to do with teenage kids, day of go karts, indoor skydiving, indoor rock climbing (or outdoor for that matter).Las Vegas, NV

Doing some sort of charity work together, while not a traditional type of gift, we have taken our teenagers to do different charity works and they have had a blast.Las Vegas, NV

See if there’s an indoor climbing gym nearby. A lesson or two in bouldering or sport climbing and membership or visit punchcard.
The focus will push other things aside and the self-esteem/independence will help anyone that age, especially kids in that situation. -
