Camp Galileo began in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2002. Its curriculum is grounded in the Galileo Innovation Approach and combines STEAM exploration with outdoor fun, including collaborative innovation challenges and mindful outdoor play. Campers create projects that really work, such as coral reefs, castles, robots, and go-karts, and middle school campers take on week-long STEAM projects. Optional extended care includes activities such as outdoor time, lanyards, and crafts, and the camp mascot is a rubber chicken.
At Galileo, the stated mission is that summer is a time for joyful, friend-filled fun and a time to learn, and that every hands-on project and outdoor game K–10th graders take on at Camp Galileo is both fun and an opportunity to build creative problem solving and collaboration skills that last a lifetime. Galileo operates award-winning summer camps and expanded learning programs at over 60 locations in Northern and Southern California, Chicagoland, Denver, and Seattle, and works with like-minded organizations across these communities to enhance and extend opportunities for innovation education. Galileo reports operating 60+ camps across five regions, serving 90+ communities, 570K+ young innovators, and awarding 49K+ scholarships, and also states that it has served over 600,000 campers at locations across the country and awarded more than 49,000 scholarships. Galileo camps consistently earn “Best Camp” community awards, and a Stanford Graduate School of Education study found that Galileo kids internalize collaboration, persistence, and resilience skills learned at camp and apply them to other aspects of their lives.
Parent feedback includes comments that kids come home thinking more independently and deeply, that the camp environment is joyful with counselors, projects, games, and activities that kids look forward to each summer, and that campers have a lot of fun building things and making new friends in an engaging educational experience. Other parents report that their kids loved the building projects, are still singing camp songs, and that they plan to return for longer sessions. Families also describe Camp Galileo as a fun, inclusive environment where kids come home happy and chanting camp cheers, and as a camp experience that builds community, includes amazing projects tied to each topic, fun games, and lots of silliness from counselors.
