I don't think there's anything on the market that is both cheap and
flexible enough to handle a trip's worth of images.

There are numerous $80ish 640x480 cameras out there - fixed focus,
low-res, limited to builtin storage - they're fine for what they are,
but in my opinion really not worth the cash.

Anything that accepts flash storage will run you _minimum_ of $200
plus storage cards - more than I'd want to hand to even the
best-behaved and most-responsible 15-year-old. I think you're better
off giving her a small 35 or APS camera and a bunch of film, and
scanning the best images for her. (Or processing them onto PictureCDs)
