About
Camp Galileo features hands-on STEAM projects, building projects, and collaborative activities. Campers take part in outdoor play and outdoor games, and also join in songs, silly songs, skits, camp cheers, face painting, and pie throwing. Many campers spend time building things and making new friends.

Since its start in 2002, Camp Galileo has served over 570,000 young innovators and over 600,000 campers, and has awarded more than 49,000 scholarships. The program’s curriculum is created by a year-round team of teachers, artists, makers, and engineers and is grounded in the Galileo Innovation Approach. Galileo operates award-winning summer camps and expanded learning programs at over 60 locations in Northern and Southern California, Chicagoland, Denver, and Seattle, and operates 60+ camps across five regions, serving 90+ communities.
The organization states that it believes every individual has the potential to become an innovator who can envision and create a better world and that summer is a time for joyful, friend-filled fun and a time to learn. It describes age-appropriate, hands-on STEAM projects and collaborative design challenges that develop critical thinking, teamwork, and iteration skills, and notes that every hands-on project and outdoor game K–10th graders take on at Camp Galileo is an opportunity to build creative problem solving and collaboration skills. Galileo also states that it is deeply committed to building communities that welcome all, works actively to break down barriers and build up supports through increasing access and valuing differences, and works with like-minded organizations across its communities to enhance and extend opportunities for innovation education. The camp’s mascot is a rubber chicken.
Galileo reports that its passionate staff nurtures and inspires campers every day, cultivating skills like resilience and creativity, and that it meticulously recruits stellar educators to join a diverse and mission-driven team, many of whom return year after year. The organization notes that it consistently earns “Best Camp” community awards, and that a Stanford Graduate School of Education study found that Galileo kids internalize the skills they learn at camp—collaboration, persistence, resilience—and apply them to other aspects of their lives.
Parent feedback includes comments that children “love the counselors, projects, and all the games and activities” and look forward to returning every summer, and that campers have “a lot of fun building things and making new friends.” Other parents report that their kids “loved all the building projects and are still singing songs from camp,” that it is a “fun, inclusive environment” where kids come home “chanting camp cheers,” and that it “builds community,” includes “amazing projects,” “fun games,” and “lots of silliness.”
