Baby CTY uses the STB, SCAT, PLUS, or PSAT tests as opposed to the SAT of regular CTY. There is no corresponding "baby [[CAA]]". The term "Baby CTY" is only used for unofficial purposes, but it is not pejorative. | ||
| − | + | Baby CTY was initially for grades 5 & 6, then expanded down to grades 2 through 4, which is sometimes referred to as "ultra-Baby CTY" or "fetus CTY", and in some very rare cases "infant CTY." Although young students were rare at first, the program has grown to become more common. | |

[[American Pie]] is the last song at the dances, although the chorus chant is often changed to, "Die, die, die, die! Live, live, live, live!"

Baby CTY, officially known as CTY Young Students Program, is for students in grades 2 through 6, as opposed to regular CTY, which is for grades 7 and above. Baby CTY uses the STB, SCAT, PLUS, or PSAT tests as opposed to the SAT of regular CTY. There is no corresponding "baby CAA". The term "Baby CTY" is only used for unofficial purposes, but it is not pejorative.
Baby CTY was initially for grades 5 & 6, then expanded down to grades 2 through 4, which is sometimes referred to as "ultra-Baby CTY" or "fetus CTY", and in some very rare cases "infant CTY." Although young students were rare at first, the program has grown to become more common.
Young students are usually on completely separate sites from older students, or at least separate parts of the campus. Unlike at normal CTY, the average Baby CTYer is a day student (commuter) but some grade 5-6 sites are residential. Baby CTY has rules and classes that are different from normal CTY, mainly due to the age difference and shorter hours on site.

Traditions
Most Baby CTY sites have few traditions, since the students are mostly there during class hours, with only brief periods for non-academic activities.
The grade 5-6 residential sites have dances and provide an introduction to a couple of CTY Canon and sub-Canon songs, including "Every Time We Touch" by Cascada, "Here (in my arms)" by Hellogoodbye, "Dragostea Din Tei" by Ozone and "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex. American Pie is the last song at the dances, although the chorus chant is often changed to, "Die, die, die, die! Live, live, live, live!" (for obvious reasons) and some sites omit the chanting altogether.
Starting in 2013 at the Easton site, most campers chanted, "Die, die, die, die, live, live, live, live, sex, sex, sex, sex, more, more, more, more!" At Bristol, the chant goes, "Die, die, die, die, live, live, live, live, fun, fun, fun, fun, more, more, more, more!" On an Olympic day at another site, a team's anthem was to American Pie. They changed the chant for the purpose of the anthem to, "Die, die, die, die! Live, live, live, live! Swag, swag, swag, swag ! More, more, more, more!" Most of the RAs and TAs tried to make the campers change the chant, but they would not change it.
Sweet Caroline was the second-to-last song played at every dance during CHST 13.2, 14.2, 15.2, and probably all the way up to 17.2, its last session. (Can someone confirm that this still happens?) (RA at Chestertown 16.1 can confirm Sweet Caroline is always the second to last song. It's even in our orientation binder!) During Sweet Caroline, the chant goes:
Sweet Caroline... (Campers scream: BA, BA BA!) The times have never been so good (SO GOOD!)
Additionally, at residential sites, Baby CTYers are introduced to traditional card games and activities (ex. The Worst Activity Ever and ERS).
It should be noted that unless a Baby CTYer is attending a residential site, they are NOT required to be advanced or grand tier, meaning that some Baby CTYers may be young CAAs. This means that although most CTYers who did Baby CTY, will have enjoyed their years at Baby CTY, but traditions will not have been as strong.
