What is a convention you might ask? Conventions are an overnight weekend packed with everyone's friends having the best time. It's an opportunity to unplug, learn, connect, and celebrate our large and ever-growing community in NSR. Imagine being at camp with teen from around the region- sharing stories, build new friendships and experience programming like never before.

WHAT ELSE IS REQUIRED?

BBYO uses 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 all the forms. These forms provide dietary, medical, and other important information. Teens will not be allowed to attend conventions without completed forms. If this is your first convention in the programming year, you are required to complete the entire CampDoc profile.

*These forms need to be completed once annually. Please be sure to check your profile if you have previously attended a convention this year to make sure all your medical information is up to date.

WHAT ARE THE MEALS LIKE? WHAT IF I HAVE A DIETARY RESTRICTION?

All BBYO meals are Kosher Style. Breakfast and lunch will be vegetarian meals, while our dinners will be kosher meat meals (with a vegetarian option). We ask for allergy information and food needs on the online medical form and the additional survey.  All BBYO conventions are peanut and tree-nut-free.  

WILL THERE BE SUPERVISION?

The convention will be staffed by BBYO professionals and our Adult Volunteer Chapter Advisors. We will also have a nurse and wellness specialist onsite throughout the weekend. Additionally, we will have hired security for our protection and to secure the perimeter of the camp. We’ve worked with this security group for other events and they are very familiar with BBYO.
