My son is wanting to go to bootcamp this coming summer between his junior senior year then infantry school and airborne school the next summer. I have no problem signing for him. Is this possible?

The Split Training Option would definitely allow him to do that. Be aware that unless he's planning on joining an Airborne unit (LRS detachment or SFG) the only way he may make it to Airborne school would be if he does an outstanding job during infantry training. This may be something that as a Marine you may be able to help him with.

Yes your son can go to Basic training this summer then Infantry school the following summer. Airborne school is possible, but not guaranteed.
