Good for you! I went with my son two years ago, and it was one of the most strenuous and rewarding things I have done in my life. The thing that's fun about going as an adult is that you don't have to do anything except keep them from killing themselves! The kids do all the cooking and cleanup--the adults are not supposed to. The only problem I had (besides being a slowpoke) was that I never acclimated to the elevation while we were above 8000'--four straight days. Be warned, by the last few days you will really be sick of the food! Have fun and be prepared for an overdose of adolescent language and humor.

P.S. If you get a chance, go on the tour of Philmont Lodge. It's very nice.
