Camp Carolou

9.13.25 | Elk Rapids, MI

You’re invited to an adventure

Pack your bags for Camp Carolou!

The stars have aligned and we're gathering our favorite humans at the White Birch Lodge in northern Michigan this September. Think less traditional wedding, more magical summer camp weekend where we happen to get married.

We are so excited to get silly and sweet with our favorite people on the planet (that’s you). See you at camp!

Alex “Lou” Persky-Stern

For those of you who don’t know, Caroline calls Persky “Lou” because when asked what his middle name was their first month of dating, he answered “Big Lou.” She giggled, and the name stuck.

Caroline Hatfield

Caroline’s middle name is Louise, and yet Alex never thought to call her Lou too–what a missed opportunity.
