Guys,

I'm not trying to get him to embrace his inner nerd so that he can only associate with other nerds and geeks and just become more of a wuss. That isn't to say that nerds and geeks are bad, but he is incredibly maladjusted and suggestions like getting him into Magic are just not what I'm looking for at all. The camping thing is a great idea though. If I can manage it, I'll take him on a float trip down the James River for 3 days and do nothing but fishing and camping.

also I'm not necessarily looking for just specific activity ideas. ANny techniques on how to help him develop social know-how, competitive instinct, work ethic, etc.

Mostly I just want to help him help himself. I know theres no way to instantly imbue him with the qualities that he lacks - just wana give him a chance to develop them.
