We are excited to welcome you to our BBYO March Break Road Trip taking place March 11-15, 2024 in Ottawa and Montreal! This trip is open to all Jewish teens in Grades 8-10 - BBYO membership is NOT required!
Hit the road for a five-day adventure in Ottawa and Montreal filled with new experiences and new friendships! Teens will hop on a luxury coach bus and explore the diverse culture, food, and stories of each community. This trip combines elements of active touring, community service, and meaningful Jewish experiences.
Highlights include attending a hockey game (Penguins vs Senators), volunteering to prepare meals for those in need, visiting Canada's Parliament, and spending an afternoon at Mont Tremblant (optional skiing, snowboarding, or tubing add-on is not included but will be available to purchase after registering).
The cost is $399 and includes round-trip transportation from Toronto🚌, overnight accomodations🛏️, all programming👾, staffing👨🦳, supplies✏️, admission to all attractions🎪, and most meals🍽️ (kashrut observed) . Optional skiing, snowboarding, or tubing add-on is not included but will be available to purchase after registering. Best of all, payments are fully refundable until February 25, 2024 for any reason!
The bus departs from the Prosserman JCC, 4588 Bathurst Street, Toronto, on Monday, March 11, 2024 at 10:00am in the Honey & Barry Community Park parking lot, and returns to the same location on Friday at 4:00pm. Enter the campus from Bathurst Street, turn left at the first stop sign and then turn left again to go over the bridge to the Honey & Barry Community Park.
Space is limited and we're anticipating a sell-out! The registration deadline is Sunday, March 3, 2024 at 11:59pm but we recommend that you register early to avoid joining the wait-list. Remember, your registration is fully refundable until February 25, 2024 if you decide to cancel for any reason!
We never want finances to be a barrier to a teen's participation. 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!
