Summer planning in September? It’s not as bizarre as you might think. In fact, many summer programs offer pre-season discounts for families who start their summer camp planning in the fall. Here are five reasons your next-summer self will thank you.

#1: The power of innovating often

Every summer kids come to Camp Galileo, they build on the innovation skills they learned the year before. Over time, they broaden their knowledge and grow into more creative, determined, confident individuals. It’s never too early to guarantee another summer of that incredible impact.

#2: Best price promise

Camp Galileo’s pre-sale offers the lowest per-week base camp price you’ll see between now and next summer. Purchase your 2022 camp weeks before September 15, 2022, to lock in your camper’s lowest price, guaranteed.

#3: VIP exclusives

Our pre-sale is for a limited time only, and families who purchase now net VIP status. That means you’ll get access to our exclusive VIP summer camp registration period in January 2022 before general enrollment opens. During our VIP registration period, you can take your pick of Camp Galileo locations and dates—no waitlists, no worries.

#4: Plenty of flexibility

We get it: a lot can happen between now and summer. That’s why families can cancel camp weeks purchased during the Camp Galileo pre-sale for a full refund. Check out all the details on our handy FAQ.

#5: Not “So long,” but “See you later”

Saying goodbye to camp is never easy. The playing, learning, friend-making, and fearless creating kids have done can be hard to leave behind. Booking your camper’s 2022 spot can ease the transition with another summer of Galileo to look forward to—plus a jump-start on next year’s scheduling.


One innovative summer leads to another. Pre-purchase your 2022 Bay Area, Southern California, or Chicagoland camp weeks now to lock in another incredible Camp Galileo experience at our lowest price of the year.
