It will cost more than what it would cost to do the same thing yourself.

If you search the web for this question, you will see people up to 2009 quoting prices like $3000 for domestic US trips and $5000+ for foreign trips outside the US. It depends on which trip you go on. Like the Antarctica one is about $10,000 and one of the Australia ones was like $6,700.

An additional potential "cost" and concern is your child's safety.

His parents sued the program and reached a settlement this year. The details are not pretty.
