B'nai B'rith Perlman Camp, Jewish summer camp in Lake Como, Pennsylvania
B'nai B'rith Perlman Camp is a summer facility set on 350 acres of forest in the Pocono Mountains near Lake Como. It has separate residential areas for boys and girls, each with ten cabins, plus sports courts, a lake, and various recreational structures.
The camp opened in 1954 on the grounds of a former summer facility and took its current name in 1975 to honor Anita Perlman. This naming reflected the organization's commitment to recognizing its foundational leaders.
The camp serves as a place where Jewish families gather for summer, blending traditional camp life with Jewish holidays and religious observances. Daily routines reflect Jewish values and create space for young people to explore their cultural identity.
The facility sits roughly 2.5 hours by car from the New York and Philadelphia areas. Sessions vary in length, giving families options when planning their children's attendance.
A large outdoor amphitheater overlooks a 13-acre lake and serves as the center for camp gatherings and group programs. This natural setting creates a distinctive venue for open-air meetings and performances.
