Campers in the spirit for Color Day spend time with their team playing games and singing their team song before their first rotation. Natalie, a camper at Sunnyvale Camp Galileo, chants her team's song and shouts, "I love Camp Galileo!"  

For 12 years, Galileo Learning has operated summer programs that spark kids’ passion for science, technology, engineering and the arts. This summer alone, more than 35,000 San Francisco Bay Area kids will attend our programs at Chabot Space & Science Center, The Tech Museum of Innovation, Camp Galileo and Galileo Summer Quest. Nearly 50 percent of our attendees are girls; 40 percent of our kids

Sunnyvale Galileo Quest Campers participate in an all-camp game called "Capture the Chicken." Similar to the game, "Capture the Flag," the campers run past the Staff in order to capture the chicken and bring it back to their side of the field without getting tagged. The campers won by a landslide.

Today at Camp Galileo Quest Sunnyvale, campers involved in the Digital Photography major learn about the importance of lighting and the basic elements of Photoshop. 

Star and Supernova campers have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. In an Outdoor activity called "Mingle, Mingle, Mingle,"  campers walk around on the field and when called to do so, they find a partner to high-five. The Outdoors rotation is a great way to interact with their fellow peers. 

At Camp Galileo Sunnyvale, Supernova campers, who painted a sunset using watercolors yesterday, cut out silhouettes of African safari animals using black construction paper. Supernova campers also learn about the use of negative space. Lead Art Instructor, Morgan, like the rest of the staff at Camp Galileo Sunnyvale, allows for an environment that cultivates creativity and experimentation.

Sunnyvale Camp Galileo Star camper Nadav constructs and blows a horn he made during his Science rotation. The horns, made out of a balloon and paper towel rolls, are built by the campers to sound like the low noises of an elephant and the roar of a lion. Campers learn about the importance of sound waves and high and low frequencies. 

Sunnyvale Camp Galileo campers at the Opening Ceremony watch the energetic staff members perform their daily skit before the first rotation. 

Galileo Quest Campers experiment with Nikon digital SLRs and take photos of everything from ladybugs among the blades of grass to bird's eye view shots of their fellow campers from above. Campers also receive notebooks in which they may sketch their ideas and brainstorm scenes to capture. 

Camp Galileo orders Choice Lunch to provide Galileo campers a healthy lunch at camp. On the menu today is warm burritos, cantaloupe, and Pirate's Booty.
