Camp Galileo Walnut Creek uses an imagination-sparking, STEAM-focused curriculum created by a year-round team of teachers, artists, makers, and engineers, and is grounded in the Galileo Innovation Approach. The program includes a Counselor in Training (CIT) option that features leadership development and camp mentorship. Galileo has awarded more than 49,000 scholarships and consistently earns “Best Camp” community awards. Its mission states that summer is a time for joyful, friend-filled fun and a perfect time to learn, and it works with like-minded organizations across its communities to enhance and extend opportunities for innovation education. Campers have a nut-free snack break during the camp day.

Parent feedback from other Galileo locations notes kids enjoying counselors, projects, games, building things, making new friends, camp songs, and camp cheers, and describes the camp as fun, inclusive, and well run.
