MEET OUR CUPERTINO SUMMER CAMP TEAM

Julia Barbano

Julia Barbano , Camp Director

Julia is glowing at the thought of returning for yet another summer with Camp Galileo. This will be her fifth year with Galileo and third year as Cupertino's Camp Director. She has a BS in Biology and seven years of education experience. Julia believes that playing well with others is crucial to individual and community development. And so, when she's not swinging the rubber chicken, she's teaching Physical Education to pre-K through 8th grade students.

A Note From Your Camp Director

Reach your arms wide, innovators! Step high. Because we're about to soar into another mind-opening experience where jellyfish umbrellas and dinosaur trash bins await your imagination. What will you create?
