As far as Earthwatch goes, you sign on for one, two or three weeks. You pay your own fare to get there, then the costs range from $700 to several thousand dollars- this includes all costs for accomodation, meals, etc. In the description of each trip, they describe accomodations which range from tents to medium-good hotels, and food from very simple to good restaurants and sometimes a personal chef if you are in a remote location. Most of the people who go on these are single - they often add to their trip by travelling on their own afterwards. They also have scholarships to help keep the costs low for students.
