What do camp days look like?
We’re proud of how often our staff members share what a monumental effect Galileo has on their
growth–camp days are full, and they teem with skill-building fun. If you’re interested in becoming
a Galilean this summer, we want to prepare you for the joys and rigors of camp that will ultimately
lead to incredible personal and professional development.
As a true camp professional, you’ll commit to hard work, and you’ll play often. You’ll give hundreds
of high-fives, create countless memories, and have one of the most fulfilling (and often exhausting)
experiences of your life. Check out the sample schedules below to learn more about a week in the
life of a Galileo summer staff member at each of our three programs, Camp Galileo, Galileo Summer
Quest and The Tech Summer Camps.

“Galileo has given me
the most challenging
and rewarding
experience of my life.”
– Daniella, Team Leader

professionally every summer I’ve had with Galileo,
