I'd " gently" suggest that the young man leave the Game-boy at home ;)

Even if the weather keeps you in camp, they're is always the chance to fish from shore, maybe some cards/cribbage etc, and GOD forbid, maybe even some Father and Son conversation time ;D

Instead of a electronic babysitter, he can use his imagination and find old school ways too have fun. Better yet, how about a book? Get him a copy of Furtman's' BW/Q fishing guide, or any of the books about the BW/Q area. Maybe a book on map reading and navigation? Old school compass reading, not a GPS, until he masters the old way. That will keep him occupied for hours and he'll learn something that will be useful on future trips.

Unless he's planning on using his gaming skills for something that has some useful purpose , like maybe be a Predator Drone pilot, it's just a crutch for avoiding human interaction :(

You can "Tweet" me on that ::)
