Cancellation Policy: The deadline to cancel with a full program refund is the final registration deadline for this program. Until that date, full refunds will be granted for cancellations in writing (e-mail is acceptable), for any reason. After the registration deadline, partial refunds may be available based on convention expenses already paid (hotel, transportation, etc.). Within ten days of convention we’ve already confirmed final counts with our vendors, and no refunds will be given (unless a doctors note is received due to illness). “No shows” will not receive a refund.

Depending on registration, hotel room availability and transportation we may have to close registration earlier than the November 18th 12pm deadline and your teen will be placed on a waitlist.

In Person/Rooming/Covid-19 policies:

• Teens similar to International Convention and all hotel-based conventions are roomed with up to 3 other people--2 teens per bed.
• Teens can request 1 roommate, we highly suggest the teens discuss beforehand and each put each other. We will do our best to honor requests but they are not guaranteed.
• All teen must be vaccinated to be in order to attend any overnight BBYO events including regional conventions. This is International BBYO policy, not just locally in NER.
• At this time, we will ask all teens to arrive with proof of a negative rapid test, which can be taken at home within 24 hours of the start of convention.

Registration Questions and CampDocs:

• There are registration questions to answer regarding which bus to take, roommate request, t-shirt size and more.
• Please answer the allergy/dietary restriciton question so we request enough food from the hotel.  All food all weekend will be vegetarian.
• All teens/families must fill out CampDocs information by 12/5/22 so we know allergies, physcial and mental health information and vaccine information along with other questions.
