Camp Galileo utilizes its acclaimed Innovation Approach to equip campers with the mindset, knowledge, and process necessary to become bold, visionary innovators.
Camp Galileo offers innovation-focused summer camps for children in kindergarten through 8th grade, providing an engaging blend of STEAM exploration and outdoor activities. Campers participate in hands-on projects, collaborative design challenges, and classic camp fun, including songs, skits, and active outdoor games. Activities are tailored by age group, with K-5th graders engaging in daily rotations through Innovator's Studio, Idea Lab, and Outdoor Adventure. In Innovator's Studio, younger campers (K-3rd) create multiple individual STEAM projects, while older elementary campers (4th-5th) focus on a single, more complex design. The Idea Lab fosters teamwork through daily design challenges, encouraging experimentation and problem-solving. Outdoor Adventure includes innovation-focused team challenges and active games. Middle schoolers (6th-8th grade) immerse themselves in one epic weeklong project, utilizing advanced tools and techniques to build creations such as Remote-Control Robots, Custom Go Karts, or Escape Rooms. Through these activities, campers develop essential skills including creative problem-solving, fearless experimentation, perseverance, collaboration, and creative confidence.
A typical camp day runs from 9am to 3pm, with optional extended care available from 8am to 9am and 3pm to 6pm. For K-5th graders, the day includes an opening ceremony, Innovator's Studio, snack break, Idea Lab, lunch/free play, outdoor adventure, and a closing ceremony. Middle schoolers (6th-8th grade) spend most of their day focused on one immersive individual STEAM project.
Ideal for students in kindergarten through 8th grade who enjoy hands-on STEAM projects, collaborative design challenges, and outdoor activities, seeking to develop creative confidence and problem-solving skills.
