To Reach Simple Life of Summer Camp, Lining Up for Private Jets
Gov. Paul LePage of Maine happened to be waiting for his flight at Augusta
State Airport on a recent Saturday when the weekend crush began.
A turboprop Pilatus PC-12 carrying Melissa Thomas, her daughter, her daughter's
friend and a pile of lacrosse equipment took off for their home in Connecticut,
following the girls' three-week stay at Camp All-Star in nearby Kents Hill, Me.
Shortly after, a Cessna Citation Excel arrived, and a mother, a father and
their 13-year-old daughter emerged carrying a pink sleeping bag and two large
duffel bags, all headed to Camp Vega in Fayette.
...
Now, even as the economy limps along, more of the nation's wealthier families
are cutting out the car ride and chartering planes to fly to summer camps.
