About Camp Galileo & Galileo Summer Quest

Camp Galileo combines art, science, and outdoor activities with fun camp traditions to create a summer program K-5th graders love. Delivered by a highly talented staff, Camp Galileo's educational programming is developed in partnership with The Tech Museum of Innovation, the de Young Museum, and Klutz.

On a weekly basis, Camp Galileo programming focuses on specific art, science, and outdoor themes, with three unique weeks of programming offered. Each day campers rotate in teams of 16 between art, science, and outdoor learning activities, dividing their time equally between the three topics.

The Camp Galileo experience is topped off with games, theme days, and ... a rubber chicken mascot!

GoCityKids sent in a young camper to see what he thought. And, wow... we are highly impressed with the level of enthusiasm and professionalism at the camp. The staff makes a huge effort to get to know the kids and provide a positive experience for them. It is so much fun that the kids don't even realize it is educational, too! Our six-year-old camper said, "It seems like every kid at the camp is having a great time!" (This coming from a kid who literally cried when dropped off at his former camp!)

Camp Galileo is located in 21 Bay Area communities in San Francisco, Marin, the East Bay, South Bay and the Peninsula.

Galileo Summer Quest is a new summer program for 5th through 8th graders, where students dive into subjects they are passionate about or want to explore. Campers design their perfect summer day, working with expert instructors on in-depth projects, and choosing from a selection of inspiring Majors, such as Magazine Makers, Go-Karts and Video Game Design. Campers also participate in 2 Minors from a varied group of topics, including Sports, Hip-Hop Dance and Science of Explosions. Galileo Summer Quest is offered in Oakland, Palo Alto, San Mateo and Saratoga.

Our 9-year old son LOVES Camp G! The team leaders are excellent - highly energetic, intelligent, responsive and wonderful with kids! Over the last 4 (!) years, we have been very impressed with the science, engineering and art projects, as well as the positive way in which they challenge the kids to think about their projects and themselves. We now build our summer vacations around Camp G.

Both of my children have thoroughly enjoyed this camp. The staff is amazing and there is a great balance of fun learning projects with good old-fashioned outdoor games. My son is now too old for camp, but is excited to hopefully one day return as a CIT.

My 6-yr-old son loves Camp Galileo! It is by far the best organized camp and it is a great mix of learning, creativity and fun. I highly recommend it.

Camp Galileo is an excellent camp. The team leaders are smart, funny and friendly and know how to make learning fun. There's a good mix of physical, mental and creative activities for the children. We've enjoyed two years at the Prospect Sierra campus and look forward to many, many more!

Camp Galileo is a fantastic camp. Great staff, great programs and good times. I never had to talk my kids into going: they loved being there and have gone for multiple summers.

My 8 year old son loves Camp G. It's just plain fun, and it feels like what a summer camp should feel like! There's some silliness, jokes, chants and cheers along with excellent art and science components. Counselors are enthusiastic, young, fun and interesting. All the kids we know uniformly love this camp.
