(1) I know there is a waiver or Chief Counsel's opinion or
something that allows pilots without a commercial pilot rating,
flying under Part 91, to carry Angel Flight passengers in a way
that would otherwise be prohibited. I know I've seen such a
document on the web somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Can
anyone come up with a pointer?

There is no such waiver because these are charity flights and you are
not compensated. You do Angel Flights under Part 91 and the only
certificate, and experience requirements are those of Angel Flight
(naturally, you must also meet applicable FAA currency requirements)

(2) If memory serves, the above document restricts the waiver to
something like "carrying passengers for the purpose of receiving
medical treatment".

Not true.

I am seeing lots of requests for pilots to
volunteer to transport kids to a summer camp where they can have
fun with kids with similar disabilities. Is it legal for me to fly
these missions? Would you accept such a mission?

Yes and absolutely yes in a heartbeat. I took two kids on an Angel
Flight to a camp for burn victims. Bill Cosby was there greeting the
kids as they arrived which was a real kick and something to remember
for them.

Please contact your friendly Angel Flight Office for your area of the
country and volunteer. I have the links on my web page:
