About the provider
Camp Galileo began in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2002, and Galileo has served over 600,000 campers since then. Its curriculum is described as acclaimed and award-winning, and the site says Galileo consistently earns "Best Camp" community awards. A Stanford Graduate School of Education study found that Galileo kids internalize collaboration, persistence, and resilience and apply them to other aspects of their lives. Galileo says its mission is to value differences, welcome all, and work with like-minded organizations across communities to extend opportunities for innovation education.
What families say
“My son was extremely hesitant to go on his first day because he didn't know anyone there. He even cried and was so anxious he didn't eat much for breakfast. At the end of the day he said "Mommy! I had SO much fun and I made 3 friends!"” — San Francisco Parent 2025
“[We love the] staff and curriculum. Curriculum still keeps my older kid engaged, even after years of attending Galileo.” — Alameda Parent 2025
“My child loved it! He came home excited and happy and well cared for.” — Berkeley Parent 2025
