Greensboro Montessori School offers two Weekly Camp formats:

Availability for Weekly Camps is limited. We will accept registrations through March 15, 2025, or until a Weekly Camp fills up, whichever comes first. If a Week fills up, we reserve the right to give returning students enrollment priority over students who have withdrawn for the 2025-26 school year.
Students currently enrolled in Lower Elementary (current 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders) may select up to four sessions of Lower Elementary Weekly Camp. While on campus, they will to join their friends in our All-Inclusive Summer Camp to relish in the Montessori summer vibes and reconnect with their school community. Their weeks will feature fun, safe, and age-appropriate experiences specifically designed to meet the developmental needs of Lower Elementary students, while also introducing whimsical activities and more lighthearted adventures for the warm and playful summer months. Our seven sessions of Lower Elementary Weekly Camp run Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. The cost to attend is $450 per week (except for the first week, which is $360)*, and a $150 nonrefundable deposit per child per week is due upon registration.

Greensboro Montessori School’s Weekly Summer Camp cancellation and refund policies are based on the School’s investment in staff, program activities, and supplies before programming begins, and the $150 per child deposit is nonrefundable. Upon the first day of Camp, payment is due in full, even if a participating student does not attend camp, except in the case of an extenuating circumstance as reviewed and approved by the School. Students who leave during Weekly Summer Camp for an approved reason will receive a prorated refund (less the non-refundable deposit).
Students must be picked up from Summer Camp by 6 p.m. If a family realizes they will be late, we ask they call the Office in advance. Students picked up after 6 p.m. will be billed at a rate of $5.25 per child for every 15 minutes past 6 p.m.
