IMO, given that I now have an 11 year old boy who will one day be 13, I would likely let him go. I was in 8th grade when I went on a week long trip to California with my classmates. We all survived and that was the days before cell phones! The better we expose our kids to experiences such as this (with lots of guidance from us), the better they will be prepared for the world. Again, my opinion. Others may not agree.
