Camp Galileo is held June through August at multiple campuses around the Northern California Bay Area. Our camp is a three-week program, with options to sign up for one- or two-week sessions.
Camp Galileo operates Monday - Friday from 9:00am - 3:00pm, with extended care offered in the morning (8:00 - 9:00am) and afternoon (3:00 - 5:30pm). Families may sign up for week-long extended care before camp. Registration for single days of extended care during camp is based on availability. Campers bring their own snacks and lunches.
Camp Format
- Campers are grouped by grade level into teams of 16 that remain together for the week.
- Every day campers rotate with their team between Art, Science and Outdoor activities, dividing time equally between the three topics.
- Traditional camp activities like opening and closing ceremonies, skits, all-camp games and team building fill the remaining hours.
2008 Art & Science Themes:
Shape It, Sculpt It! & Amusement Park Science
Ancient Egypt & Crime Solver Scientists
Psychedelic ‘60s & Space Explorers
