About

Camp Galileo

Get ready for an unforgettable summer at Camp Galileo, full of engaging STEAM projects, collaborative design challenges and classic camp fun, like silly skits, face painting and pie throwing. Every hands-on activity and outdoor game is designed by a team of educators, tailored by grade and calibrated for maximum fun and lasting learning.

Using the acclaimed Galileo Innovation Approach, our experienced staffers teach campers the mindset, knowledge and process they need to become bold, visionary innovators. Every day, kids transform their ideas into one-of-a-kind creations. And while the materials they use might be simple, the skills they learn along the way—how to creatively solve problems, fearlessly try new things and persist in the face of challenges—are profound.

“The camp was a place where my kiddo was able to learn, create friendships, and make some great memories. Everyday he left with a big smile on his face. As he said, ‘Best camp ever!’” - 2024 Galileo Family

Weekly sessions. 9am-3pm daily, with optional extended care from 8-9am and 3-6pm.

Pros: My son enjoyed outdoor activities and loved the theme each day. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons: The length of time given for the each week project each day is only 30 minutes to 45 minutes. It would be nice if its extended for atleast 2 hours each day (example: Tropical Rainforest)

This was fine, my kid enjoyed it and the counselors seemed really spirited. I just don't know how good of a value this is given it is more expensive than some of the other camps and I'm not clear that there was a lot more activities.

Camp Galileo was both of my kids' favorite camp last summer. They loved the staff and brought home amazing projects, including a water blaster that my daughter designed, built, and used all summer.

I wanted to inquire about the availability of spots for 5th grade at Galileo Summer Camp at Fairburn Elementary School from July 22nd to July 26th. There seems to be a discrepancy between the information on the Galileo website and elsewhere. Could you please confirm if there are still openings available? (Camp Galileo: 4th-5th Grades) -
