It is only 3 hours driving
from Boston and only 7 hours driving from New York. Planes
are usually only a short flight away from the PWM (Portland
International Airport) or BOS (Boston International
Airport), where we offer a service to pick up your children
and escort them to and from camp and the airport. We
take the worry out travel for you and our Travel
Agent can help you
with all your arrangements. In addition, we have a van
that picks up kids on the Northeast Coast and drives
them to and from camp once every four weeks. Choose a
mode of travel below for more information.

when purchasing all plane tickets, and when the flight arrangements are made
and paid for your child.

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. The MGTA office will
always have the information
that both parents and drivers
of MGTA transportation will
need.
Our policy is that if a flight
is delayed or canceled, we
will call the parent immediately
to confirm the alternate travel
arrangements. MGTA will never
leave a child unaccompanied,
or leave a camper 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.
