I agree.
But I think the most important person to ask is the 11 year old.
It is a guided group and I'm sure the group must be comfortable with it, liability wise.
It would be a fantastic opportunity for the 11 year old.
Also, what is/are the mother's objections to it?
I traveled from Hilo, Hawaii to California at about that age with my Grandmother when the flights were all of 12 hours long on a four prop jet. The only negative effect I can report is that I now can't stand anyone who twiddles their tnumbs! Grandma was on her first trip and extremely nervous. I now can't stand any thumb twiddling!
