2024 Summer Camps

Summer Camp at Asheville Montessori School is a wonderful opportunity to introduce new students to the Montessori method while being immersed in a fun, educational opportunity.

Camp Basics

All camps run Mon–Fri, 9:00 am–3:00 pm
Morning drop-off car line runs 8:45–9:00 am
Afternoon pickup car line runs 2:45–3:00 pm
For children ages 3 to 6 (We are only licensed for this age group and cannot accept any child who has not yet turned 3).
We are unable to accommodate children who are not FULLY potty trained.
Each camper must have accomplished our Entry Level Skills
Summer camp reservations are on a first-come/first-serve basis.
Tuition is $300 per week of camp/per child.
When you submit your Camp Reservation Form, please allow 3-4 days to receive a confirmation email of the camps your child was placed in. Shortly after receiving your confirmation email, you will receive an invoice via Brightwheel for the $50 deposit. The deposit will be due within 48 hours to hold your child’s spot in the camp. This is a non-refundable deposit but will be applied to the cost of each camp.
Camp tuition minus the $50 deposit will be billed via Brightwheel the month before your child’s camp. So, if you have signed up for a camp in June, the invoice will go out in May. If you have signed up for a camp in July, the invoice will go out in June.
Summer camp is only open to children who are currently enrolled in the 2023-24 school year and/or who have or will be enrolled in the 2024-25 school year.
Parents will need to provide a nutritious snack and a lunch for their children.
There will be a short “rest time” after lunch each day, children are invited to bring a snuggle friend stuffed animal to have with them on their cot during this time.
There will be a weekly camp “Parent Gathering” each Friday at 2:30 for our campers to show you what they have been up to all week!

What to bring on the FIRST DAY

Bring these items on the first day of each camp (Monday of each week your child is signed up) to leave at camp for the week.

Full change of clothes: Please pack a shirt, shorts, underwear & socks in a Ziploc bag and label it clearly with your child’s name.
Sunscreen and Insect Repellent: Please label sunscreen with your child’s name. You must complete a Topical Ointment Administration Permission Slip for the sunscreen and/or insect repellent you are bringing.

Hand both directly to a teacher in the drop-off car line. We must keep all sunscreen locked up and out of reach of children, and we might not see it if it is tucked inside a backpack. Thanks for your help on this matter.

What to bring EVERY DAY

Water bottle: Please label it clearly with your child’s name. (This is a requirement of the state.)
Nutritious snack AND lunch: We will provide organic cow’s milk at lunchtime. If you prefer a different lunchtime beverage, please pack it with their lunch.
IMPORTANT! WE ARE A NUT-FREE ENVIRONMENT! Please do not bring foods containing peanuts or tree nuts of any kind! We have children in attendance, and staff who are severely allergic to these foods. Thank you for understanding.
First Application of Sunscreen Daily: Please put the first application on your child before drop-off each day — we will be happy to reapply.

Once Summer Camp Registration OPENS at 11:00 on Monday, March 4, 2024:

1. We will share the 2024 Summer Camp Reservation Form via Brightwheel

You must complete all required fields.
Our summer camp spaces are limited! Please note: For the best chances of getting into a camp in any specific week, please choose your preferred camp first and indicate an alternate choice and/or if you would like to be added to the wait list for your preferred camp.
If filling out a reservation forms for siblings, you will need to submit a separate form for each child. We will process these together based on the submission time of the first form (as long as they are submitted in short succession).

2. Submit your completed Reservation Form

Once a form is submitted, we will add the child to the specified camp in the order they are received.

3. You will be contacted via email within 3 – 4 days of submitting your form.

We will contact each person who submitted a form to let you know the outcome.

Please contact the office if there are any changes after you have submitted your Reservation Form.
