MEET OUR BURLINGAME SUMMER CAMP TEAM
Elishama Goldfarb, Camp Director
Elishama is back for his second year as the singing, dancing Camp Director for Camp Galileo Burlingame. Born and raised in the Bay Area, Elishama graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2003. He taught outdoor education and led backpacking trips through Yosemite before receiving his teaching credential and master's degree from UC Davis in 2007. He has taught 1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade, and currently teaches 4th and 5th Grade at Eagle Peak Montessori School in Walnut Creek. He plays the guitar and can alter the lyrics of any popular song, current or classic, to become an instant Galileo hit.
