What parents had to say about Camp Galileo:

“Camp Galileo has been a remarkable experience for our daughter. She learned while having fun, and she looked forward to camp everyday. The counselors are extremely kind as well as parent oriented and are among the brightest, kindest, and most considerate young people you will ever meet.”
– Karen Rappaport, Parent

"Wow! Your counselors are amazing! Enthusiastic, fun-loving, and very mature, they kept the kids giggling and the parents very well-informed. Camp G is the perfect combination of science, art, and silliness! Can we sign up for the next four years right now?"
– Anne Ling, Parent

“Superb quality of the staff. These kids really put their leadership learning into practice. These are not your usual camp counselors. These counselors will go far, and I am happy Camp G gives my Kindergartner the chance to be exposed to this caliber of young adult!”
– Tamara Garcia, Parent

“Both of our children have loved the camp. With an age difference of 5 years it is challenging to find a camp that appeals to both. Camp Galileo fulfills this to the MAX! My kids love Camp Galileo and I love it for the superior teachers. Not only are they well-trained, but it is obvious that they love being there!”
– Parent

“Camp Galileo was my six year old daughter's first camp experience and I was a little worried about leaving her for six hours. My concerns were unwarranted. She loved the counselors, the activities, the games and the teamwork. She wanted to come back for a second week!”
– Kathy Cargnoni, Parent

“The staff is phenomenal; their bios were incredible. It's very impressive to see such brilliant, well-rounded young adults that are so fun and engaging with young children.”
– Karen Boncher, Parent

“Loads of fun for kids--Camp Galileo gets it right where so many other camps get it wrong: the best and most memorable learning takes place in the context of team spirit and fun. I've never seen my daughter so enthusiastic about a new camp experience!"
– Parent

“Normally, given the choice between staying home and going to camp, [my camper] would choose staying home. However, during the week he spent at Camp Galileo [he] was really happy and excited and couldn't wait to go to camp each and everyday. As a matter of fact, he would be the one rushing me every morning to get ready so we wouldn't be late. It was truly a great experience for him.”
– Lisa Fowler, Director of Admissions/Development The Carey School

"I wish Camp galileo was an overnight camp and so we did not have to go home.....it is so much fun"
– Shreyas, age 5

“My Kindergartner told me after the first day to sign her up for 100 weeks....it was cute since she wasn't too sure she even wanted to go. Her older brother told her it would be awesome!”
– Parent

“Camp "G"offered my daughter a great experience that challenged and stimulated her while satisfying my high expectations as an educator!”
– Sharon Spivack, Parent

"My son would come home everyday telling me what interesting activities he did at the camp everyday. From his description, I know that he was very engaged in the camp activities.”
– Lie-Yea Cheng, Parent

“Our first summer at Camp Galileo was a huge success with our kindergartener and 3rd grader. Not only were the camp counselors engaging, they were also fun and very caring with our kids. The other unexpected aspect that we were very pleased with was that our kids actually learned about various interesting and important science concepts. Our kids say: that ‘...they had lots of fun while learning at Camp Galileo!’”
– Katja and Bob, Parents

“We signed [our son] up for only one week last summer in the kindergarten program. He LOVED it! This summer we went all three weeks. He has already said he wants to go for three weeks next summer! He loves Camp G! He especially loved 'Chicken 911' and playing 'waterball'!”
– Parent

“Camp Galileo experience was wonderful way to start off a kindergartener's exposure to science camp. My fourth grader loved all her activities. The terrific energy and enthusiasm of the camp staff was amazing! I couldn't wait to hear of what my child learned at the end of each day. The smiles and excited chatter of the children said it all...that they learned important concepts but had tons of fun too:) Thanks to each of the hardworking staff members.”
– S. Bhikha, Parent

“My Daughter . . . loves Camp Galileo! She came home every day excited and full of great stories. The Staff is really warm and inviting every morning. After two days [she] was telling me that Camp Galileo was better than the camp she was at the week before. Next year we will sign up for the whole summer.”
– Miriam Russell-Wadleigh, Parent

“This comes from my child who has some learning issues... This is a great camp..it is so much fun and they explain things very well. As a parent who was anxious about how my child would cope with a new environment, this sort of response at the end of the first day and everyday thereafter was nothing short of miraculous. Thank you Nathan. Thank you Galileo Staff for designing a curriculum that teaches while being fun at the same time.”
– Parent

I like to give my child a variety of summer experiences, but if I could only send him to one camp, it would be Galileo. I was especially impressed how even when he was attending a "repeat" week of topics, the experience was fresh, challenging and fun for him."
– Parent

“This was my 5 year olds first time at any camp. Thanks to Camp Galileo she can't wait to go back and do more! She came home every afternoon with a huge smile on her face!”
– Parent
