The First Edition

Welcome to the first edition of The Canteen Corner. We are so excited to share with you our first Perlman Camp blog post!

We thought a blog was the perfect way to share more news from our community, updates of the renovations and all other Perlman Camp happenings!

Each month, expect a monthly post where you will find Perlman community updates as well as birthday shout-outs! We’ll also be blogging periodically throughout each month, so look out for guest writers from our full-time staff, Alumni, current campers and more.

Well, lets get started then!

Construction Update

As you know, we are currently undergoing a multi-year renovation project to upgrade our camp facilities. This year you saw our beautiful new air-conditioned dining hall and completely rebuilt tennis courts. This year we are excited to announce a number of exciting renovations, including our performing arts space in Sobel Hall, upgrades to our girls bunks, and more!

Here’s the update on what has happened since we left camp last month…

We are almost finished renovating the first of our girls’ bunks, including adding insulation and more ventilation, replacing the windows, and rebuilding the shower and cubby areas. We look forward to posting our first photos of the newly completed bunks in the coming weeks!

In Sobel Hall news, we prepared for the start of renovations by taking down all of the Maccabiah plaques we’ve accumulated over the years (don’t worry, they’ll be back!). It’s looking a bit empty at the moment, but we can’t wait to share with you the updates as the work gets started – which will include air conditioning, new flooring, a renovated stage and all new lighting and sound system!
