Who May Attend Youth Day?

All students from public and Catholic schools, grades 9 through 12, are invited to our annual YOUTH DAY on the opening Thursday of the Congress weekend. STUDENTS BELOW THE 9th GRADE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT AND WILL BE REFUSED ADMISSION.

What Is the Cost?

Registration to attend Youth Day is $20 per person. After the early registration deadline, January 5, 2008, the price goes up $5 each person – a total of $25 per person.

Chaperones & Contact Person

For each group of up to 10 students there must be one Adult Chaperone. However, there must be two Chaperones listed in your first group registration. Groups must stay together throughout the day, all attending the same workshops. Students are not to be dropped off at the Convention Center without a Chaperone.

The Adult Chaperone should be at least 21 years of age and must stay with and supervise their group throughout all of Youth Day. Chaperones should participate in the events of the day – youth find it more difficult to participate if the adults are off to the side. Understanding that it is often difficult to sit together as a large group, we ask that Chaperones divide up and stay with those they brought.

The Contact Person is responsible for providing the Adult Chaperone with all the necessary forms and emergency information for each student in the group. All Youth Day tickets will be mailed to the Contact Person. The Contact Person may also be one of the group Chaperones or registrants.

How Do We Register?

Registrations can be made by mailing in the Youth Day Registration Form along with a check for the proper amount or online by credit card at www.RECongress.org/yd. A maximum of 10 students and one Chaperone can register per form.

Registration Deadline

We recommend that you register early. Once Youth Day fills to capacity it is CLOSED. This sometimes happens BEFORE THE YOUTH DAY REGISTRATION DEADLINE OF FEBRUARY 28, 2006. If Youth Day is filled when we receive your registration, it will be returned to you. SORRY, THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS GUIDELINE.

Tickets and Name Tags

Each ticket must be issued to a specific person. Registrations will NOT be processed if only one person’s name is used in all the spaces on the form. In order to gain admission into the Convention Center, each person must have tickets and be wearing the official Youth Day name tag. If needed, you may substitute names. We will not be able to print out new name tags or workshop tickets.
Due to the large number of people who attend and unpredictable weather, we strongly encourage that tickets and name tags be passed out before you leave your parish or school or before leaving the bus. Those who become separated from their group are not allowed entry to workshops or the Arena. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Tickets will be mailed after February 5, 2008, to the Contact Person. Please check your packet to verify that each Chaperone and each student has his or her own tickets.

Workshop Registration & Assignment

Print the letter of your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice workshops plainly on the spaces provided. All workshops are repeated in the afternoon session, unless otherwise stated.

WORKSHOP ASSIGNMENT: Our registration computer will assign your first choice for the morning session and your second choice for the afternoon. If your first choice is full, then the computer will give you your second choice first and your first choice second. You are given your third choice only if your first and second choices are full.

Food Services

During the brief time we have scheduled for lunch, there will be food concessions at the Convention Center. Lines are always long, so you may prefer to have your group bring lunches. You can bring ice chests and other supplies in your vehicles (to be brought in at lunchtime only). We ask that no one go to the nearby restaurants.
