fees will be based on the time of arrival and departure,

campers under 15 must travel as an Unaccompanied

Unaccompanied Minor Fee to be paid when purchasing
all plane tickets, and when the flight arrangements
are made and paid for your child.
Fees: Transportation fees are arranged
on a base rate from each destination, a flat fee which is the same for pick
ups an drop offs between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM and on the normal arrival Sundays
and departure Fridays. Additional fees at the rate of $15
per hour will be charged before and after the above mentioned times, if there
are delays or if the scheduled flight is before or after those times.
Delays
or Cancellations: If
a camper's transportation
is delayed through no fault of
MGTA, and that campers require
a second trip and/or overnight stay, then
the transportation fee will
be adjusted to reflect the
additional $250 for
each day plus the
additional transportation
fee for the second trip to
the airport or connecting
point.
Our policy is that if a
flight is canceled, we
will never leave a child
unaccompanied or overnight
anywhere but at our camp.
If we can not contact the
parent or guardian, we
will always bring
them back here to
their "home away from
home", to camp, until
we can return to the airport
and safely put them on
the alternate flight.
