About
Camp Galileo features hands-on STEAM projects, collaborative design challenges, and building projects where campers work on things like coral reefs, castles, robots, and go-karts. The program also includes outdoor play and outdoor games, along with songs, silly songs, skits, face painting, pie throwing, and other silly traditions.

Camp Galileo’s curriculum is grounded in the Galileo Innovation Approach and engages campers in age-appropriate, hands-on STEAM projects and collaborative design challenges that develop critical thinking, teamwork and iteration skills. The program states that fun is the first order of business, with outdoor play, songs, skits and silly traditions every day, and its mascot is a rubber chicken. Staff are described as a year-round team of teachers, artists, makers and engineers, and the program notes that passionate staff nurtures and inspires campers, cultivating skills like resilience and creativity.
Camp Galileo began in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2002 and has grown to 60+ locations in California, Colorado, Washington, and Illinois. Galileo reports that it has served more than 570,000 young innovators, has awarded more than 49,000 scholarships, and has served over 600,000 campers at locations across the country since 2002. Galileo operates award-winning summer camps and expanded learning programs, consistently earning “Best Camp” community awards, and a Stanford Graduate School of Education study found that Galileo kids internalize the skills they learn at camp and apply them to other aspects of their lives. Galileo operates at over 60 locations in Northern and Southern California, Chicagoland, Denver and Seattle, and works with like-minded organizations across their communities to enhance and extend opportunities for innovation education.
The program’s mission states that at Galileo, summer is a time for joyful, friend-filled fun and a perfect time to learn, and that Galileo believes every individual has the potential to become an innovator who can envision and create a better world. Galileo also states that it works actively to break down barriers and build up supports through increasing access, valuing differences and welcoming all.
Parent feedback includes comments that kids “love it and come home thinking more independently and deeply than before,” that Camp Galileo is “such a joyful environment” with counselors, projects, games and activities that bring children back every summer, and that it is “an exciting educational experience with a lot of engagement and learning.” Other parents note that their kids loved “all the building projects” and are “still singing songs from camp,” describe it as a “fun, inclusive environment” where kids come home “chanting camp cheers,” and say they feel it is “the perfect camp experience” where kids build community, work on “amazing projects,” play fun games, and experience “lots of silliness.”
