He's comfortable in his life and friends and simply apprehensive about changing all of that. But once it's happened and he realizes that he's gonna make new friends AS WELL as get to keep his old ones, he'll be OK.
Now, about this trip to the left coast....You say he's going to "Space Camp"? Is he into the "NASA" stuff or did he get this trip as a gift and goin' just because? If he's into it, get online and go to www.jpl.nasa.gov/pso/pt.cfm and see if you can reserve a tour. Thta's the tour page for the Jet Propulsion Lab  in Pasadena. They handle practically every "long-term" mission for NASA. But you knew that; didn't you?
If he's into "cultures" (not culture), definitely hit the beachfront at Venice. Can you say; "White Men Can't Jump"? I knew that you could. You also need to hit the surf. Find a shop that rents out surfboards and gives lessons. Think he'd get a kick outta that unless he's easily frustrated. Not as easy as some make it look!
Then there's always the theme parks; Disneyland, Knott's (my personal fav), Six Flags (thrills), Universal Studioes (go online and check for concerts at their amphitheatre; if you go here, take the "backlot tour; fun and informative.
Take him to Hollywood and take in a movie at Graumann's. Always a bunch of "Hollywood flakes" out front willin' to get a pic w/ya (@ a cost, but can be fun) and the "prints" in the walk are cool.  Who knows; he may fit right into somebody's "shoes".
There's also Griffith Park Observatory (just above Hollywood). They've changed it since the last time I went and you need reservations now. They used to have a summer program in the planetarium with a laserium show of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" that absolutely knocked your sox off! Don't know if they're still doin' that though.
As far as the boat rentals go, there's others w/more up-to-date knowledge than I. But you can Google it and find a good list of companies that rent everything from tubes to deck boats (used to have a huge list but lost it when we moved from dial-up to cable).
Well, lb2, good luck if you choose to accept this mission. I have to go for now, but if that's not enough, I will be back.

Yes he got the space camp as a gift But he is a freak about that kind of stuff, He would love to be a astronut someday and is into all that space stuff so I need to find out more on the nasa thing he would love that.
Griffith Park Observatory This sound interesting.
