Camp Galileo Opens In East Boulder

Camp Galileo, the educational STEAM-inspired summer camp with over sixty-five locations, is pleased to announce that it is opening its newest location, in East Boulder, this summer at Horizons K-8 Charter School from June 10-July 26.

"As an educator, parent, and community member in Boulder, I'm grateful to be part of Camp Galileo, which blends safety, fun, and STEAM exploration,” said Kim Dembo, Camp Galileo East Boulder Camp Director, who is also an East Boulder parent. “It's a privilege to contribute to an initiative aligning with our community's passion for learning and recreation.”

Camp Galileo empowers children from kindergarten through eighth grade to think and create like innovators through a dynamic blend of science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) projects, combined with hands-on collaboration and plenty of classic outdoor summer camp fun. Camp Galileo’s proprietary Galileo Innovation Approach teaches children to blend knowledge, process and a growth mindset to turn ideas into reality, while practicing the lifelong skills of collaboration, persistence and resilience. All of this is achieved while having fun working on individual projects and mind-expanding team challenges.

Camp Galileo’s East Boulder camp is its sixth Colorado location. Galileo opened its first Colorado site in 2021, and has been growing rapidly in response to rave reviews from parents and high local demand for quality STEAM education programs.

“We can’t wait to welcome East Boulder area families to camp,” said Matt Noble, Chief Executive Officer at Camp Galileo. “We’ve heard again and again from local parents that they are looking for more engaging options for their kids during the summer months, and that they appreciate Galileo’s unique mix of fun and enrichment. What a wonderful place for us to expand our mission of developing innovators who envision and create a better world."

In the coming months, Camp Director Kim Dembo and Galileo’s team will be preparing for a summer full of innovation, friendship and fun. They will be hiring a team of high-quality local staff, and working with Horizons and other area schools to help spread the word to East Boulder families about this exciting new summer option, including the opportunity to apply for financial assistance if needed.

Camp Galileo has been named among the 2023 Best and Brightest Places to work in the U.S., one of Forbes’ Best Small Companies, a Top 100 Real Impact Company and a Diversity Jobs Top Employer. Camp Galileo has appeared on local Best Places to Work lists over a dozen times and is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, which includes providing financial assistance for camp families.
