Camp Galileo: Innovation, friendship and fun.

Camp Galileo engages rising K – 8th graders in irresistibly fun, hands-on STEAM-inspired projects and active outdoor games. Our dynamic staff inspires kids to turn big ideas into reality, collaborate with peers and play hard outside. Kids and parents love Galileo because:

• Our project-based curriculum captures kids’ imaginations and builds lasting skills. Stanford researchers found that kids who participate in Galileo’s curriculum tend to persevere at unfamiliar challenges, share their ideas more freely and respond better in the face of failure.

• Extended care and flexible enrollment support busy families.

• Our boundlessly talented staff supports and inspires campers.

• We provide an inclusive, accessible camp environment.

• Galileo is mind-blowingly, unforgettably FUN.
