Investing for nephew for four years

I just sold my boat to my nephew for a nominal $500. He is a freshman in college and I want to do something with the money and give it back to him when he graduates in 4 years along with the interest or gains. I have Robinhood and I have my Roth and Trad. IRAs but I want this to be separate from all that and don't want any tax liability or anything like that. Is there somewhere I can invest the $500 without him knowing and surprise him with more than $500 later? (If it goes down, no big deal since he wasn't expecting it back anyhow.) Thanks for any tips.
