2026 Summer Session
Introducing Summer Session!
This Summer we are introducing a new way of holding summer programs. With our session model you can sign up for a 3 week block that emulates our school year programs. This will provide an easy transition from school year to summer programming while keeping a consistent structure for your Questor!
For those who may not be familiar with our fall to spring programming this will be a taste of what we offer all the time!

2026 Summer Camp Enrollment Information
For All Summer Camps:
Children will need to bring a backpack with a water bottle and sack lunch.
They will need to wear sturdy shoes and we recommend a sun hat.
Please apply any preferred sunscreen and/or bug spray before dropping off.
Your child may be wet/muddy at pick-up. Please plan accordingly.
We incorporate both guided learning and unstructured play time each day
We work to create camps that will provide the perfect balance between novel information and guided experiences for children to elaborate upon based on their individual skills and abilities and supervised but unstructured time to play out those new concepts and skills, explore, and develop friendships.
Camps will begin promptly at the times listed
If you arrive early, please feel welcome to wait in your car or explore our natural areas with your child, giving our camp counselors space to prepare for the day's session before greeting your child at the start time.
Waitlists Are Available!
Please fill out the form below to begin the registration process or add your child to the waitlist, and we will contact you shortly to complete registration, or to let you know you are on the waitlist for if a spot opens up!
Summer Camp Payment Policy:
Each summer session is $700. All programs run 3 hours per day, 4 days per week. Payment is due upon registration in order to reserve placement in a program. Of this payment, $100 is a non-refundable retainer.
Cancelations three or more weeks prior to the program start date will receive the remainder ($600) as a refund. In the event of a program cancelation, Ashlar will notify families three weeks prior to the program start date and issue a full refund, including the retainer ($700).
