Camp Galileo- San Francisco South

I’m very impressed with this organization. Lots of staffing to control not only the kids and curriculum, but also the traffic control and drop off on the morning. Yes, the parents are sometimes more difficult then the children.
I highly recommend this activity for your kids summer vacation.

My daughter just finished a week of Digital Photography camp and LOVED it. Very well organized, interesting and engaging (and she hates camps usually). They had complex cameras for them to use, and great computers to teach them photoshopping. Excellent program.

I don’t know where they find the crazy staffers for this place but I want whatever they’re on! The energy level of every single staffer is off the charts, every day, all day. I even asked my child whether they’re nice to the kids when the parents are around but less enthusiastic when it’s just the campers. They’re really like that all day long from the moment you sign them in until the moment you sign them out. Each week has a different theme and all of the day’s activities are tied to that theme. There are all kinds of science and art activities and the kids get to experiment and work out their solutions to whatever «problem» is posed to them. It’s a great opportunity for the kids to use their own problem solving skills while working as part of a team.
My child was completely heartbroken when we aged out of the Gallileo program and even cried when we said goodbye to everyone. I think that is the sign of a truly amazing camp experience.
The campus is beautiful, clean and very secure and safe. I can’t recommend this place enough!
If only they’d create a program for older kids in the city!

Galileo was a forward-​thinking, inventive astronomer. He was a genius. And he could party– note he was Italian– ie good food and good wine. This camp is well named. My daughter LOVES IT! Last week she learned all about the ocean, created an anemone out of construction paper, discovered how certain things float in salt water and sink in fresh water, made a small replica of a tide pool and she did all this either a wearing a crazy hat or dressed as a mermaid.
She sings the camp songs at home and talks about what she’s learned. This week she’s learning about space. Stephen Hawking watch out, because Camp Galileo instills a love of science in the very young. All while the kids are having fun, acting silly or just being kids.
Spectacular.
