Camp Galileo: Innovation, friendship and fun for K–8th graders

Get ready for an unforgettable summer at Camp Galileo, full of engaging STEAM projects, collaborative design challenges and classic camp fun, like silly skits, face painting and pie throwing. Every hands-on activity and outdoor game is designed by a team of educators, tailored by grade and calibrated for maximum fun and lasting learning. 

Using the acclaimed Galileo Innovation Approach, our experienced staffers teach campers the mindset, knowledge and process they need to become bold, visionary innovators. Every day, kids transform their ideas into one-of-a-kind creations. And while the materials they use might be simple, the skills they learn along the way—how to creatively solve problems, fearlessly try new things and persist in the face of challenges—are profound.

"The camp was a place where my kiddo was able to learn, create friendships, and make some great memories. Everyday he left with a big smile of his face. As he said, 'Best camp ever!”'" -2024 Galileo Family
