I suppose it can depend on what's avaliable in the area where you live.
Are there any other Methodist congregations in your area that are reasonably accessable with whatever your current transportation situation is?
Is there a Boy Scout troop in your town (and if not, here's a good opportunity to work towards getting one set up, offering to use wherever your congregation meets to host troop meetings during the week)? Remember, there's nothing that says all the boys in the Boy Scout troop *have* to be of the same faith (it's just done that way a lot out of convenience).
Alogn the lines of the Scout idea, speak with your pastor about the idea of having some sort of weekly nondenominational social (if the Scout thing isn't an option for any reason) for youth in your area. It's possible to have a good wholesome interaction within general religious guidelines without being preachy with the doctrines of any one faith.

I'm a Methodist also. In my teen years I went to Camp Salkehatchie... I can't really remember how to spell it... but I think that's right. It was a Methodist church camp and it was majority teens and it was a great experience.. If you would like to know more about the camp feel free to IM me.

I would suggest taking him to a youth group at another church. If the teen doesn't see a possibility of entering into relationships with other teens, especially girls, then he will leave on his own. It's OK to have him go to teen Bible studies at other churches.

Well you really can't do all that much. Perhaps you could think of something and then open it up to all the youth in the community...that way you'd get a larger turn out and would be able to do something productive.

It depends on his abilities. If he can draw or paint, try exploring his artwork ability. Also, there are many projects you can do with kids: chess, fishing, science projects, field trips to the park. There's alot you can do with one child.

hold a festival/carnival where other kids and their parents can attend to have fun and learn the gospel...

Take him fishing. Take him to a ball game.
