I would have him study hobos for the summer (edit their code so it suits your purposes, "obey law and order and act like a gentleman" but leave out the first tenet about running your own life :-) and maybe go to some of the convention for a reward for good behavior? Work on math by teaching him to sew/make his own costume, favorite meals (measuring ingredients)?
