Camp Galileo began as a Bay Area summer camp founded in Palo Alto, California, USA, by CEO Glen Tripp in circa 2001, a graduate of Stanford University. Drawing heavily from the innovation process inspired by the Institute of Design at Stanford, Galileo runs an evolving series of programs for kids pre-K through 8th grade. The camp is split into two subsections, Camp Galileo for kids from pre-K to 5th grade, and Galileo Summer Quest for kids between 5th and 8th grade. Galileo also designs and runs camps for The Tech Museum of Innovation â€" 4th-8th grade.
Camp Galileo currently operates over 45 camps at various campuses across California. In 2015, Galileo expanded into the Los Angeles area. In 2016, Galileo grew its Southern California territory to include Orange County, and expanded to the Chicago metropolitan area.
