HEALTH REQUIREMENTS AND FORMS:  Beginning in August 2021, BBYO is requiring all teens, staff, and advisors attending any overnight programs (chapter, city, council, regional, and international programs) based in the United States to be fully vaccinated (vax date plus two weeks). Currently, Moderna, Pfizer, Astra Zeneca, or Johnson & Johnson are the accepted vaccines.

1. If your teen attended a BBYO summer program and has already uploaded their vaccination card to CampDoc, BBYO will transfer that over to their MyBBYO account so you do not need to do anything

2. If your teen did not attend a BBYO summer program, follow these steps:

   1. Go to bbyo.org and sign into your account

   2. Under program alerts, you will see vaccine acknowledgement with the name of each of your teens and a button for the waiver

   3. Click on complete waiver

   4. Please read through entire waiver, sign and click submit

   5. Reminder: this will NOT show up on a teen account only a parent account

BBYO works with CampDoc, the leading electronic health record system. All participants and parents are required to complete a health file before attending a BBYO convention. Once you have registered for the convention, you will receive an email inviting you to join CampDoc. Accept the invitation and complete or update all forms. These forms provide dietary, medical and other important information. Teens will not be allowed to attend without a complete profile. 

ACCOMMODATIONS  AND  WHAT  TO  BRING:  A detailed packing list will be sent out in the weeks leading up to the tournament. The tournament is home hosted. The food will be kosher style – no mixing of milk and meat.    

TRANSPORTATION:  A transportation and logistics email will go out one week prior to the tournament and will include transportation info and timing for each city.  Please note teens are never allowed to drive to BBYO  conventions.
