depends on the age:

For a young teen the ideal project is buying an old inexpensive car and helping him rebuild it so he has a great car when he gets old enough to drive.

But you have to get their interest first.

Let it go over a few months or a year.

Warning: too big a project will be too much frustration

Building anything. Preferably something that will last (woodworking, repairing a car, etc). Fishing and camping. He may be miserable for awhile, but he'll eventually grow to cherish it.

Magic:The Gathering. I cant possibly recommend learning/teaching this more. It is an excellent hobby and teaches one to think in new perspectives and directions. Grab a couple intro decks from the store ($15-20/deck) and read up on the rules. Once you feel established,use TCGPlayer to buy individual cards, and research on Gatherer

Games can last 2minutes to 2 hours,and there are about 9000 cards available to pick and choose from. Truly a fantastic game for two people to learn together.

You'll get a lot of typical stuff here and that's all probably great, I'm gonna tell you something unusual my dad and I used to do that has stuck with me.

He worked shifts, getting home late at night some weeks or straight up sleeping during the day and working nights. In my late teens I was out with friends or at college/parties. We wouldn't see each other much but random nights when everyone else was already asleep we'd bump into each other as I got back from a bar and he was getting in or heading out to work. This is back when milk came in glass bottles dropped off at your door and the milk bottles had foil caps. He would flatten the caps and flick them like mini Frisbee across the room at us kids. So it became a thing, these random nights with a milk bottle cap frisbee flicking it back and forth in the dark kitchen just chatting about whatever came up. It was sometimes 10 minutes sometimes a couple of hours just standing at either end of the kitchen flicking this thing back and forth and talking.

We did a lot of stuff together when I was younger, hiking, working on cars etc.. but those nights really stand out in my mind as when we went from father and son to genuine friends.

Dog fighting.
Get a dog and train it up together. I don't recommend a small or weak dog for this or it will end in tears. Best thing is to train it while listening to "Eye of the tiger".
Get in touch with your local dog fighting league and get your dog registered to fight.
Hand the dog over to your son and encourage him to do his best in climbing the ladder. Bet hard on his dog to make some extra cash.
or
You could just play Pokemon together.
