Our Partners

What Sets Us Apart

Galileo is unique in three important ways: our acclaimed, STEAM-focused curriculum; our amazing staff; and our blend of skill-building projects and joyful camp FUN.

Pioneering Curriculum

Grounded in the Galileo Innovation Approach, our acclaimed curriculum engages campers in age-appropriate, hands-on STEAM projects, and collaborative design challenges that develop their critical thinking, teamwork, and iteration skills.

Superstar Staffers

Our passionate staff nurtures and inspires campers every day, cultivating skills like resilience and creativity and making incredible camp magic. We meticulously recruit stellar educators to join our diverse and mission-driven team, many of whom return year after year.

Fun x Enrichment

Our mission may be lofty, but this is also summer camp! Fun is the first order of business, and outdoor play, songs, skits, and silly traditions are part of every day. In fact, things can get downright goofy around here (our mascot is a rubber chicken, after all).

"Galileo's curriculum, with its focus on innovative educational projects, has been a perfect fit for our summer programs. These are skills and experiences ALL kids, regardless of income or zip code, deserve."

Erin Brannan, Former Chief Program Officer, Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula

My son wakes up happy and tells me how everyone is super nice and with so much energy at Galileo X.

My daughter loves going to the camp. She wakes up every morning excited to learn new things.

Kids are so creative and come home making more crafts. I just know their minds are opening up so much. Very grateful they got a chance to just learn through play!

The program is great for the kids to develop their social skills. A big thank you to all of the staff.

The Projects Are Just the Beginning

Galileo projects are awesome. But while campers are making their arrows and alien puppets, they’re also doing something more—they’re learning how to innovate. Fueled by a process inspired by the Stanford d.school, Galileo helps campers learn essential innovation skills, like how to creatively solve problems, fearlessly try new things and persist in the face of challenges.

The products are cool. But the byproducts—the newfound confidence, vision and grit you’ll start seeing in your kids after only a short time—are what make Galileo so much more than your average summer camp.

Our Impact is Real

In a multi-year study, researchers from the Stanford Graduate School of Education found that Galileo campers tend to persevere in the face of unfamiliar challenges, share their ideas more freely and respond better in the face of failure.
