  • What if my preferred location is listed as TBD?
    If a location is listed as TBD, it means we are confident that we will have a camp in that community, but are still confirming the specific location. As soon as we have finalized our site plans, our website will be updated!

    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. Please note that we are unable to accept TK or Pre-K students.

  • How much does camp cost?
    Camp Galileo pricing varies by location and program. Please note that for our youngest campers, the Nebulas (rising kindergarteners through 1st grade), we provide a higher staff-to-camper ratio.
