Camp Galileo began in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2002. Its curriculum is grounded in the Galileo Innovation Approach and combines STEAM exploration and outdoor fun for kids in grades K–10. The program operates over 60 locations in Northern and Southern California, Chicagoland, Denver, and Seattle, and has served more than 570,000–600,000 campers. Camp Galileo has awarded more than 49,000 scholarships and consistently earns “Best Camp” community awards. The program offers a Counselor in Training (CIT) program, includes a nut-free snack break, and has a rubber chicken as its mascot. A Stanford Graduate School of Education study found that Galileo kids internalize the skills they learn at camp and apply them to other aspects of their lives. The stated mission is that summer is a time for joyful, friend-filled fun and a perfect time to learn. Camp Galileo works with like-minded organizations across its communities to enhance and extend opportunities for innovation education.
Parent feedback includes comments that kids come home thinking more independently and deeply than before, that the environment is joyful with counselors, projects, games, and activities, and that campers look forward to returning every summer. Parents describe kids having fun building things, making new friends, and engaging in building projects, songs, and camp cheers. Testimonials also mention that the camp feels well run and well staffed, that it is fun and inclusive, and that it builds community with amazing projects, topic-based learning, fun games, and lots of silliness.
