Cabela's wind river 9ft 5wt is a decent and cheap little set up.
You'll be a bit under-gunned throwing bigger bugs for bass with a 5wt. Personally, I'd go with a 6wt. BUT a 5wt would be perfect for the 10 y/o.

good advice above I would go with a stiffer rod for a beginner. a 7 is sensitive enough for a brim popper or wet fly but still enough for a big bass bug and the potability of moving up later. One thing I can add is when fishing ponds ya gotta be mind full of your back cast. Any experienced guy can tell ya about snagging trees and stuff on their back cast. It is something to consider specially teaching a kid to do it. Snagging ya back cast can be frustrating specially for kids.
