[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP--did you make arrangements locally for the 13 year old to sleep and be transported to the service and party?

If you did not, then it's natural to assume that the parents will be doing it.  If they are incurring the cost of travel then they should be included.

I usually get an email from the mitzvah mom that she has made arrangements for my child to sleep at Zoe's house and Zoe's mom will be helping with local transportation etc.  It's not included in the actual invitation that goes to everyone but I know that arrangements for my child have been made.[/quote]

What the actual...??? You send your 13 year old out of town to be driven around and sleep at a stranger’s house? [/quote]

PP here.  Sorry if this was unclear.  My kid goes to camp with kids from Md, Va, Pa, NY, and New England.  Usually there is more than one kid attending camp from the area.  So the mitzvah mom asks the other camp family in the area to help with logistics for the out of town campers.  My kid has attended the same camp for 6 yrs.  By the time mitzvah year came I had met most of the camp parents via visiting day.

For the out of town camp mitzvahs, I know the parents hosting my child and most often she is with a few kids from her bunk.[/quote]
