ENROLLMENT DETAILS

WELCOME. WELCOME. WELCOME. WELCOME. As I sit down to write this letter, the entire BBYO Movement—and I personally—am still overwhelmed by the triumph of our return to inperson experiences in 2021. The results couldn’t be clearer: our teens and staff were re-energized, and our summer participants returned home with a sense of joy, new friends, a connection to Judaism, and most of all, confidence to return to a bright year ahead. We are exceptionally proud of the outcome of our rigorous emphasis on health and safety: we welcomed over 1,750 participants and staff this past summer to BBYO travel and camp programs without the emergence of a single case of COVID-19.

We could not be more excited to do it all again—this time even bigger and better—in summer 2022. With nearly a century of experience and trust behind us, BBYO is poised to enrich the lives of Jewish teens with programs in 12 different countries, including our four signature Israel experiences, designed to let teens forge their own connections to the people, history, and culture of the Jewish homeland. We are also offering six super-sized “Ultimate” experiences, which let participants fully immerse themselves on inter-continental explorations unlike anything else.

I can’t overstate how eager we are to welcome you and your teens into our family. Our mission is to deliver fun, meaningful, inclusive, and safe experiences, as we have since 1924, and we’re making it easy for you to plan with flexibility and confidence.

Ready to build memories and experiences that last a lifetime? The tools are within these pages. Take a look, find what speaks to you, and we’ll be here to help.

The vibrant fabric of our Summer Experiences is woven by a group of staff members who work tirelessly—to plan our programs, to foster community, and to ensure an enriching experience for all.

DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS Despite the seasonal nature of these programs, 90% of our summer staff work with teens year round in BBYO. Their experience as full-time youth professionals means our staff are especially attuned to teen needs and accustomed to successfully crafting meaningful experiences.

INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS Not only is worldwide connectivity a priority among our participants, our staff also represent a multitude of backgrounds and countries of origin. This helps elevate the cultural immersion of our programs, and allows staff to share their own diverse experiences.

SUPPORTIVE & SKILLED MENTORS Our staff complete a rigorous background check, but they are also chosen based on their ability to support our teen participants during this crucial time of development. Many are Youth Mental Health First Aid, CPR, and First Aid certified, and all are trained to find the delicate balance between fun and discipline that is crucial to a rewarding teen experience.

IN THEIR WORDS

“ “ “ “

This trip was one of a lifetime. I made amazing friends and was able to truly connect to my Jewish identity through Israel. I would not trade it for the world.

—Mollie T., Nassau Suffolk Region, Israel Journey Teen

”

Thank you to all who made this trip possible. It was amazing and life changing and something I will never forget. I have formed relationships and learned lessons that I hope will stay with me forever and will make me a better person for the future.

”

—Evan S., Delta Region, ILSI Teen

Thank you for giving me one of the best experiences of my life at ILTC. BBYO is my favorite place to be and you all make me feel like I'm a part of a giant family that supports me and it's amazing. Thank you for a life-changing summer!

—Ari N., Michigan Region, ILTC Teen

My daughter completely loved the trip. The kids were just amazing and she bonded with so many of the participants. The itinerary was exceptional. Coming from Canada we had specific COVID return requirements that differed from the other participants. I reached out and received a response immediately and the requirements for her safe arrival were arranged. I was most impressed with the trip and I was only sorry that the kids didn't have more time in Israel.

The well-being of our participants is our number one focus, and we treat every participant as a member of our own family. Safety and security are our guiding principles. We work with our partners, campuses, medical providers, and host city or country governments to ensure that our teens enjoy their experiences to the fullest extent in a safe environment. Visit bbyo.org/safety for more on our commitment to safety and information specific to safety in Israel.
