Camp Galileo’s curriculum combines STEAM exploration and outdoor fun for kids in grades K–10. The program offers a nut-free snack break and an optional Counselors in Training (CIT) leadership development program. Optional AM Care runs from 8–9am and optional PM Care runs from 3–6pm.
Camp Galileo began in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2002. Its imagination-sparking curriculum is created by a year-round team of teachers, artists, makers, and engineers. Galileo operates award-winning summer camps and expanded learning programs at over 60 locations in Northern and Southern California, Chicagoland, Denver, and Seattle, and has served over 600,000 campers across the country, engaging K–10th graders. Galileo reports having served over 570,000 campers and awarded more than 49,000 scholarships, and it operates 60+ camps across five regions. 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. Galileo consistently earns “Best Camp” community awards, and its mascot is a rubber chicken.
Galileo states that it 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 camp environment is joyful, and that campers enjoy counselors, projects, games, and activities. Parents report that their children have fun building things, making new friends, and engaging in building projects, and that some kids continue singing camp songs at home. Other parents describe the camp as fun and inclusive, mention kids coming home chanting camp cheers, and note that the experience builds community, includes amazing projects, fun games, and lots of silliness.
