Kids earning monies to pay for school trips/tours

Any ideas for my 13 year old son to earn his own monies to pay the £2000 for his school cricket tour to the Caribbean? I want him to have some financial responsibility.

besides would you really want him knocking on strangers' doors asking to wash their cars? or doing a paper round before school?
No offence but I doubt it.

Very difficult to do IMO. People don't want to pay sponsorship for him doing an activity just to fund a 'jolly'. And there is only so much car washing he can do.

he is 13 and it is a school trip.
If you want him to go, you should pay, IMO.
