Camp Life at Galileo Summer Quest

An exciting summer day camp designed especially for rising 5th to 8th graders, Galileo Summer Quest empowers campers to try their hands at real-world skills such as Web Design, Fashion Design and Digital Filmmaking. Campers immerse themselves in developing their own personal project, while cultivating the skills, knowledge and confidence to make their ideas reality.

Majors and Mentors

Campers spend every day of the one-week summer camp session working side-by-side with experienced instructors who share a common passion. By week’s end, campers will not only have learned a lot, but developed a strong mentor-camper relationship whose impact can last a lifetime. Collaborative small-group activities and team-building projects also bring like-minded campers together, making it easy to meet new friends. At parent presentations at end of every session, you’ll have the chance to see your campers’ summer project and visit with your campers’ Instructor, who will share all the details of what your camper accomplished, created, learned and taught throughout the session.

All-Camp Activities

Campers also get outside every day to enjoy team-building activities, participate in theme days and even host their own variety show.
