What to do with a 13 year old over the summer?

Looking for ideas on what to do with my 13 year old son this summer, starting high school in the fall.   I've been looking for some kind of camp in July where he can engage with other kids (not sports oriented) and I'm struggling to find something that only runs in July.  Thanks for any ideas.

The Crucible runs great 1/2 day industrial arts camps during the summer. I think it's all week-long camps, so timing is flexible. The downside is cost, as they are on the expensive end (but you get a lot for the money). He could learn welding, leatherworking, or glass blowing, among other things. It's a block from the West Oakland BART station and on the 62 bus route so he could manage his own commute.
