Camp Galileo uses an acclaimed, STEAM-focused curriculum that blends skill-building projects with camp-style fun. Its curriculum is grounded in the Galileo Innovation Approach and is created by a year-round team of teachers, artists, makers and engineers. Outdoor play, songs, skits and silly traditions are part of every day, and the camp mascot is a rubber chicken.
Camp Galileo began in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2002 and now operates over 60 locations in Northern and Southern California, Chicagoland, Denver and Seattle, with 60+ camps across five regions. The organization reports having served over 570,000 campers and awarded more than 49,000 scholarships. It consistently earns “Best Camp” community awards.
The program states a belief that 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 perfect time to learn. It focuses on building creative problem solving and collaboration skills, and a study by the Stanford Graduate School of Education found that Galileo kids internalize skills like collaboration, persistence and resilience and apply them to other aspects of their lives.
Galileo describes a deep commitment to building communities that offer innovation opportunities regardless of personal or social circumstances. It works with like-minded organizations across its communities to enhance and extend opportunities for innovation education, and it states that it actively works to break down barriers and build up supports through increasing access, valuing differences and welcoming all.
Parent feedback includes reports that kids come home thinking more independently and deeply, loving counselors, projects, games and activities, and looking forward to returning each summer. Parents describe the camp as fun and inclusive, with kids coming home happy, chanting camp cheers, and still singing songs from camp. Families also mention kids enjoying building things, making new friends, and engaging in building projects, and some parents say they plan to return for longer future sessions.
