Help.... I mean it!

My husband, my 12 year old and I relocated from Florida on July 2nd. I am originally from Bogota but have lived in the States for 25 years. My husband is adjusting quite well, in fact he loves Bogota, the weather the people, etc. etc. My son, on the other hand, is very unhappy, he has no friends and spends his days watching TV or sleeping. His passion is skateboarding but we haven't found anyplace in Bogota that he feels comfortable at. If not skateboarding, is there any camp (soccer or whatever) that he could join so he will be busy and meeting other kids until school starts.
If any of you have any children, ages 12 to 15, that we could meet, please let me know.
Thank you for any suggestion you can give me.

Apart from school take him to parque deportivo el salitre, there is tons of stuff to do there, he can practice soccer and all sort of sport I am sure he would make lots of friends there.

I took my daughter there to practice her gymnastic and she met lots of people.
