Parent feedback from 2024 describes kids loving the counselors, projects, games, and activities, and looking forward to returning every summer. Parents report that their kids enjoyed building things, making new friends, and engaging in building projects, and that their kids came home singing songs, chanting camp cheers, and feeling that the camp was fun and inclusive. One parent describes Camp Galileo as “such a joyful environment,” and another describes it as “the perfect camp experience” where kids work on “amazing projects,” learn about the project topics, play fun games, and experience “lots of silliness.” Another parent notes that the camp felt well run and well staffed and that their family plans to return for longer.
