Perlman Summer
Two Signature Leadership Experiences. One Transformational Summer.
Perlman Summer weaves together BBYO’s two premier leadership programs—ILTC and International Kallah—into one seamless six-week experience at B'nai B'rith Perlman Camp in the Poconos. Teens who choose the full Perlman Summer gain deep leadership skills, meaningful Jewish exploration, and a community that becomes family.
This combined track gives teens everything they love about each program while making it easier than ever to register for both, with fully programmed interim days between the experiences included.

What Makes Full Perlman Special?
A Leadership Journey with Momentum
Kick off your summer with ILTC, focusing on practical leadership skills, teamwork, and building confidence. Then carry everything you’ve learned straight into International Kallah, where you’ll go deeper into personal identity, creativity, and Jewish meaning.
A Community That Stays Together
The continuity of six weeks allows relationships to grow naturally as teens move from one program to the next—finding their people and building a shared experience that sticks long after summer ends.
An Immersive Jewish Environment
From Shabbat celebrations to electives, song sessions, and nightly camp moments, a full Perlman Summer creates a space where teens can explore Judaism on their own terms and in their own style.
