Rediscovering Summer Fun at Camp Galileo -

Summer 2021 has seen the joyous reunion of Galileo’s camp communities. Campers, families, and staff agree: it sure is great to be back in action.

While Camp Galileo is always a blast and a half, this summer is something unique. Whether or not your camper has been navigating anxiety about transitioning back to a post-quarantine world, the big summer fun and imagination-sparking activities at Camp G are an irresistible combination for families looking to rediscover the joys of summer.

A Peek at the Projects

Each week, campers tackle a series of art and engineering activities designed specifically for their age group. The result: an experience that perfectly balances challenge and fun at every level.

Supernovas (rising 3rd – 5th graders) in the Toy Makers Workshop theme create working pinball machines.

Nebulas (rising kindergarteners) in the Galileo Olympic Games theme design their own fully-playable miniature golf courses.

Campers in the National Parks Adventure theme are trail-ready with custom external frame backpacks.

Eat your heart out, Super Soaker. Meteors—Galileo campers entering 6th – 8th grade—built the water blasters of their dreams.

A Summer of Transformation

Everything we do at Camp G is designed to ignite the innovator in every kid. The physical projects that campers create are cool, but the skills, mindset, and confidence that they build are the real reward.

Big-Time Summer Fun

Summer is a fantastic time for exploring enriching activities to complement the school year, but at the end of the day, Camp Galileo is a summer camp, and summer camp should be F-U-N. Luckily, kids at Camp Galileo get the best of both worlds.
