Camp Galileo’s curriculum combines STEAM exploration and outdoor fun for kids in grades K–10 and includes a nut-free snack break. Optional AM Care is available from 8–9am and optional PM Care is available from 3–6pm. The program was created by a year-round team of teachers, artists, makers and engineers.
Since its start in 2002, Galileo has served over 600,000 campers and has grown to more than 60 locations in California, Colorado, Washington, and Illinois, operating summer camps and expanded learning programs. Galileo has awarded more than 49,000 scholarships and consistently earns “Best Camp” community awards. A Stanford Graduate School of Education study found that Galileo kids internalize collaboration, persistence, and resilience skills learned at camp and apply them to other parts of their lives. Galileo works with like-minded organizations across its communities to enhance and extend opportunities for innovation education.
The mission of Galileo is that summer is a time for joyful, friend-filled fun and a perfect time to learn. Parent feedback includes reports of kids loving the counselors, projects, games, and activities, and coming home singing camp songs and chanting camp cheers. Parents from multiple locations in 2023 and 2024 describe Camp Galileo as fun, inclusive, well run, and engaging, with kids building things, making new friends, and looking forward to returning.
