Galileo Summer Camps for Pre-K – 10th Graders

Galileo engages every kid with an engaging mix of hands-on learning and summer fun. Supported by the boundless energy of the best staff around, campers from pre-K through 10th grade unlock their inner design-thinker, learning to creatively solve problems, fearlessly try new things and persist in the face of challenges—all at your neighborhood school.

Camp Galileo (pre-K – 5th grades): Craft extraordinary works of art, engineer incredible inventions and have a blast playing outdoors. Choose from three imagination-sparking week-long themes.

Galileo Summer Quest (Entering 5th – 8th grades): Pick an immersive new subject every week and go deep exploring it, creating go-karts, mystery rooms, gourmet treats and more.
