Bat Mitzvah At Sleepaway Camp

Bat Mitzvah At Sleepaway Camp

When the Golden family started planning their daughter Ally’s Bat Mitzvah service and celebration, they all agreed on one thing, they didn’t want a one-day event! Instead they booked a full weekend at a sleep away camp. Trail’s End in Beach Lake, Pennsylvania became Camp Ally for a beautiful fall weekend in September.

Their service and party were a perfect combination of camp fun and an elegant party. 

Photography was done by Simphonic Events and all other vendor information is listed at the bottom of this spotlight.

The Golden family wanted their invitation to reflect the theme of camp and hired Amy Wohl, FabuDesigns to design a fun camp invite and save the date. Here is the “save the date.” a rustic single mount card and set the mood for their weekend Bat Mitzvah celebration

The same design was followed for the actual invitation. The pocket folder had 4 inserts including a packing list, rsvp, direction and transportation cards

They also created a Website filled with information for their guests at www.campally.com.

Advice From Mom Leslie

Mitzvah Mom Leslie is already looking forward to planning her younger daughter’s celebration. She has this advice for our Mitzvah planning Moms. “The key to a successful party is a relaxed host…once your event starts, let your trusted vendors run the show so you can enjoy yourself.” She then adds, “It takes a village to plan a weekend away and I couldn’t have pulled this off without the help of my two wonderful sisters!”
