HOW TO ENROLL
Enrolling for a BBYO Summer Experience only takes a few minutes. The first step is creating an account with us. Please visit bbyo.my.site.com/s/login and click Register Now to start this process.
Still need help setting up your account? Visit this document for step-by-step instructions.
After creating an account and logging in, you can find your program and proceed to register. To secure your teen's spot on their preferred summer program with BBYO, a deposit is required at the time of registration. The deposit applies to the program fee and reserves your teen’s spot.
The deposit amount varies based on the date of registration and the specific program selected. Please refer to this document for the deposit schedule for both Camp Leadership and BBYO Passport travel programs. Deposits made by January 22, 2025, will be at a lower, flat rate, while those made after this date will increase and vary depending on the program and date range.
January 23, 2025, is the last day to cancel and receive a full refund of land cost. From January 24–February 27, 2025, families may cancel their registration with a $250 cancellation fee. Beginning February 28, 2025, all programs are non-transferrable and non-refundable. All cancellations must be made in writing via email to [email protected]. Families are highly encouraged to purchase a travel insurance policy.
Due to the popularity of our Summer Experiences and to prevent disruption to program planning late in the season, no refunds will be issued starting February 28, 2025.

REVIEW THE TERMS
You're almost there! Take a moment to familiarize yourself with our straightforward terms of enrollment and cancellation policy. Program prices are not guaranteed until you complete your registration with a deposit.
PAYMENT SCHEDULE
To make planning and budgeting easier, payments for BBYO’s Summer Experiences will be broken into three installments:
- With registration: A program deposit is due with registration and required to secure your spot
- Payment 1: Due January 23, 2025
- Payment 2: Due February 27, 2025
- Final Balance: Due March 25, 2025
Please note that the deposit paid at registration will be applied toward the program's final balance. Payment amounts will vary depending on the specific program and are outlined in this document for both Camp Leadership and BBYO Passport travel programs.
All registrations that occur after March 25, 2025, must be paid in full within 14 days. If you register within 14 days of the start of your summer program, you must pay in full immediately.
Program prices are subject to some change and are not guaranteed until you complete your registration with a deposit.
Families are responsible for paying the balance in full minus any scholarship awards they are expecting to maintain a current account balance. This includes families traveling to Europe, Asia, the Americas, or Israel with a RootOne Voucher.
If your family overpays for their teen’s experience—which results in an account overage—BBYO will refund your family (or funder) for your account overage by sending a check in the FALL after account reconciliations have been completed. Email communication regarding account overages and refunds will only be sent to the person listed as Parent/Guardian 1 in your teen’s account. BBYO will only communicate with the person designated as Parent/Guardian 1 for this purpose, and is unable to allocate funds to others unless requested by Parent/Guardian 1.
METHOD OF PAYMENT
Payment is accepted by e-check/ACH, check, or credit card. Should you wish to pay by credit card, a non-refundable convenience fee of 3% will be assessed for all payments; please note that this fee is non-refundable and will not be returned in the event of cancelation, even prior to January 23, 2025. Canadian residents do not have the ability to pay by ACH in our system. All posted prices are in US Dollars.
For e-check/ACH payments, the limit per transaction is $15,000. If you need to pay more than this amount, please make separate payments to avoid your transaction being declined.
STEPS TO SUBMIT OUTSIDE FUNDING
Email a copy of your teen’s award letter—which should include your teen’s full name, the program they are registered for, the amount of the award, and contact information from the funding organization—to [email protected].
Checks must be made payable to BBYO, include the teen’s full name, and say the program they are registered for in the memo line. Mail and address checks to:
BBYO
c/o Sabrina Moore
529 14th St NW, Suite 705
Washington, DC 20045
If you have any questions about scholarship funding, or your funder prefers to pay by e-check, please email [email protected] to request the banking information.
CANCELLATION POLICY
January 23, 2025, is the last day to cancel and receive a full refund of land cost. From January 24–February 27, 2025, families may cancel their registration with a $250 cancellation fee. Beginning February 28, 2025, all programs are non-transferrable and non-refundable. All cancellations must be made in writing via email to [email protected]. Participants are highly encouraged to purchase a travel insurance policy.
Due to the popularity of our Summer Experiences and to prevent disruption to program planning late in the season, no refunds will be issued starting February 28, 2025. This policy applies to cases of homesickness, dismissal, medical or voluntary withdrawal, and other extenuating circumstances.
TERMS OF ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance to the program is conditioned upon the receipt of a full registration, including, a physical examination and vaccination records of the applicant within 12 months of the program start date that demonstrates their physical and mental fitness and ability to participate in all aspects of the program. The traveler must also have proper documentation to travel to the program. These programs are designed for teens that identify as Jewish and in the current grades posted on the website. Receipt of deposit and application form does not guarantee acceptance of the program. BBYO reserves the right to deny acceptance at its sole discretion.
BBYO reserves the right to consolidate and/or cancel specific programs and/or program dates at its sole discretion. Confirmed program offerings and dates will be finalized by March 3, 2025. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, by registering for a program you understand and agree that BBYO reserves the right to consolidate and/or cancel specific programs and/or trip dates, at its sole discretion, without prior notice.
PROTECT YOUR TRAVEL
You should strongly consider purchasing travel protection to protect your trip investment and plan for the unexpected. Travel protection may be purchased up until the date you make your final payment for your trip. Learn more about travel protection.
COMPLETE THE FORMS
Forms will become available within your BBYO account on a rolling basis after your registration is complete. Keep an eye out for emails from [email protected] notifying you when forms are ready for you to fill out. Failure to complete a form could jeopardize your teen’s ability to travel.
