Scope Of Work
Camp Harlam, one of thirteen Union for Reform Judaism camps around the country, is located in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains in Kunkletown, PA. Since their opening in 1958, Harlam has grown to its present size of over 300 acres with the current population of about 550 campers each session and a staff of over 200.
Domokur Architects’ work with Camp Harlam began in 2012 with the completion of a Master Plan for the camp. Working with the Site and Facilities Committee of Camp Harlam, the planning documents evolved through work sessions that reviewed the program requirements, existing conditions, project opportunities, alternatives, and opinions of probable construction costs. The resulting plan reflected the camp’s goals to upgrade facilities, lay the foundation for the camp’s future vision, and increase the “wow” factor of the camp’s programs.
Camp Harlam is currently in the process of executing the steps of this Master Plan. Domokur Architects recently designed and constructed a brand-new enclave of cabins for campers, and we are currently in the process of designing the next phase of cabins to be constructed. The latest construction work also includes a GaGa pit (a hexagonal pit for a game similar to dodgeball), as part of the camp’s mission to offer exciting activities for campers.
