Locations FAQ

Questions and answers about our camp locations and other basic camp info.

View All FAQs

Which camp location is closest to me?

We run camps in CA, WA, CO, and IL. Put your zipcode in our Camp Finder to locate the most convenient site.
What if my preferred location is TBD?

That means we plan to host camp in that community but are finalizing the site. We’ll update the website and notify newsletter subscribers when confirmed.
What ages can go to our summer camp?

Camp Galileo is available for rising kindergarteners through rising 8th graders. At select locations, we also offer a Counselor in Training (CIT) program for rising 8th-10th graders, with 8th graders having the option to choose between Camp Galileo and the CIT program where available. We follow local school age guidelines, starting with campers entering kindergarten in the fall of the upcoming school year. Our youth summer camp programs provide tailored experiences for different age groups. Please note that we are unable to accept TK or Pre-K students.
What are the hours of camp?

During a typical camp week, camps run from 9am-3pm Monday through Friday. We offer optional extended care hours from 8am - 9am and from 3pm - 6pm. We are closed on Juneteenth (June 19th) and Independence Day (July 4th). Some camps may not run the week of the 4th of July. Please check your location’s page for details.
How much does camp cost?

Camp Galileo pricing varies by location and program. Please note that for our youngest campers, the Nebulas (rising kindergarteners and 1st graders), we provide a higher staff-to-camper ratio. As a result, their session price includes an additional $20/week, which is reflected in the listed price. For our Meteors (rising 6th–8th graders), there is a $100 materials fee for the Go-Kart project weeks. To find the specific price for the camp you're interested in, please use our Camp Finder to select your preferred location and view detailed pricing information. We also make adjustments to the price of a session for the weeks of Juneteenth and 4th of July since we only offer 4-day sessions on those weeks.
