Why Work Here:
Much More Than a Summer Job

At Galileo, we believe that learning is an exciting process that unfolds over a lifetime, and that our mission is achieved not only through working with campers each summer, but in nurturing the careers of our summer staff. Many staff stay with us for multiple years, honing their skills in the same position, or taking on different challenges as their skills and interests change.

Galileo Learning was recently ranked the #1 Best Place to Work by the SF Business Times, and over 97% of our summer staff say they would recommend working for us. When you accept a summer job at a Galileo day camp, you can expect thoughtful, personalized training before and throughout the summer, designed to help you achieve your goals as an educator, manager or leader. You’ll work hard, and play hard, and with so many wacky summer camp traditions, you’ll laugh hard, too.

Camp is an environment that brings out the leader in all staff, and provides ample opportunity to demonstrate leadership every day. And, in addition to summer-long professional development, it is full of daily rewards, as you inspire campers to think and grow, explore new ideas and make new friends.

We are a local company on a global mission, and joining our team means joining an educational movement, becoming part of an organization that is a model of innovative learning. It means working with success and experience, at a place that values your success and experience.

Here is what Galileo programs offer:

• Credibility and expertise: Galileo has been operating summer camp programs in the Bay Area for over 10 years, and has curriculum partnerships with world-class organizations: the de Young Museum, Klutz and The Tech Museum.

• Quality Program: Galileo summer camps reflect a year-round company investment, including a full-time curriculum development team and our own pedagogy, the Galileo Innovation Approach.

• Integrity and purpose: Galileo’s mission—and how that mission is carried out through the Galileo Innovation Approach—is the backbone of the summer camp experience. We are a movement of current and aspiring educators, united in a common purpose: developing innovators who envision and create a better world.

• The best people: We hire only the most experienced, professional, hard-working and fun staff to teach unique curriculum and deliver exceptional service to parents and campers.

• Commitment to inclusion: The Galileo Financial Assistance Program awards more than 1000 weeks of summer camp in Galileo programs for campers with financial need.

• Wide appeal: For these reasons and many more, we are the most-attended summer program in the Bay Area.

We believe that every summer staffer has a role in making our vision come to life. We’re excited to see what you’ll contribute.
