A woman whose two daughters attend Tripp Lake Camp in Poland, Me., said, “A large part of the parents at my kid’s camp own their own planes.” She is scheduled to take a commercial flight to Portland for visiting days this weekend, but hopes to catch a private ride back.
But some parents have already tired of this private-plane status infiltrating the simpler world of summer camp. Nancy Chemtob, a divorce lawyer, made several summer trips to Maine in the past decade, where her children attended camp. She once managed to get on a charter plane from the airport in East Hampton, N.Y., for $750 (her husband had hung a sign in the airport seeking a ride). After listening to enough banter among parents about “who is flying, who is flying private, who they can get a lift home with,” she decided she “was done with Maine and the planes and all of the people.”
“It’s a crazy world out there,” she added. She now sends her children to camp in Europe. (nytimes)
