The best of BBYO… in a week of camp!
B’nai B’rith Perlman Camp
Lake Como, PA
Perlman Camp is better than ever with renovations to all the major structures and expanded living spaces. There's lots of green grass and outdoor space for activities, sports, programs, and time to relax around the iconic Perlman tree. Participants stay in cabins divided into four to six rooms, which are staffed by our dedicated college counselors (madrichim). The whole camp is walkable in about 15 minutes.
BBYO maintains the highest commitment to safety possible and the well-being of our participants is our number one focus. Visit the Special Policies & Procedures for Summer 2021 document to learn about our approach to navigating COVID-19 and keeping our teens, staff, and families healthy. We will continue to update our protocols based on the recommended guidelines issued by the CDC, as well as federal and local state governments.

What do I do about medication at camp?
Participants must register in advance with CampMeds, a service that provides pre-packaged, pre-dosaged medication to participants who require it. There is a $250 fee for those who do not register and arrive at camp with their medications. The exceptions to this are inhalers, birth control, epi-pens, nasal sprays, injectable medications, prescription ointments, and refrigerated medication.
How do I get to Camp BBYO?
Teens can either be dropped off directly at camp by a parent or guardian, or they can fly into the local airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, Newark, NJ (EWR), where they'll be met by BBYO staff and taken to their program by bus.
