My 15 year old son is the exact same way with the games/phone and is getting a C/D average in school.
We live on a farm and there is plenty to do outside, he is a very good helper on mechanical things and is a Godsend in helping to handle all the firewood we need to get in every year.
We went camping this weekend with 3 other couples and several teenage kids, and at one point, I was the ONLY one sitting around the fire who wasn't on an electronic pacifier of some sort (several of them had both their phone and Ipad lit up.....of course there were long periods of no laughter or conversation !
