Spring Convention

SPRING CONVENTION 2024

We are excited to welcome all Jewish teens in Grades 8-12 to Spring Convention taking place May 17-19, 2024 at URJ Camp George in Seguin, Ontario.

New to Conventions? A convention is a weekend retreat that is planned and led by teens in BBYO. Conventions bring members together for a fun and meaningful weekend of programming, activities, Shabbat moments, and hanging out with friends!

This is your chance to:

Make connections👫🏻 with Alephs and BBGs from across the region;
Participate in convention favourites like Maccabiah🏆, Separates🥰, Senior Life🎓, Oneg Shabbat celebrations🎉, Song Sessions🎶, Evening Bonfire🔥, Ropes Course💪, and an energetic camp-style Shabbat🕯️🕯️.
Vote for your 2024-2025 AZA & BBG regional boards at Regional Business Meetings🔨.

The cost is $389 and includes round-trip transportation🚌, lodge or cabin accommodations🛏️, camp meals🍽️, programming👾, entertainment🎭, staffing👨‍🦳, supplies✏️, and convention merch👕. Best of all, payments are fully refundable until May 8, 2024 for any reason.

A note about pricing:

We never want finances to be a barrier to a teen's participation. We recognize that high levels of participation in BBYO can often be expensive, and therefore designate scholarship funds that members can apply to receive to help them attend.

Did you know:

We have more scholarship funding available than ever before!
You can request up to 25% of the cost without providing any income information or tax forms, making it even easier to apply for a scholarship!
All scholarship requests are completely confidential and all situations are considered!
Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis, so the sooner you submit your request, the sooner you'll receive a response!

To request scholarship assistance, please register for the convention and then complete the Scholarship Application within 48 hours of registering.
