Every parent faces the challenge of keeping kids engaged and learning over summer break.
I remember during grade school, my mom is fond of enrolling me in summer camp activities I have taken summer acting & dancing workshops and advance academic programs in Reading Comprehension and Math. I also remember that the start of my piano lessons started in the summer of 4th grade.
For my daughter, we have some plans instored for her this Summer, one of which are swimming lessons. I would also like to enrol her in an art class to awaken her art side and of course make her summer worthwhile.
Something powerful happens at Galileo that doesn’t happen at other camps. Sure, kids have fun. They have a lot of fun. They come home glowing, grimy and wiped out.
CAMP GALILEO IS A PLACE WHERE FEAR GOES ON HOLIDAY.
In its place grows a spirit of exploration and innovation. Every year, Galileo sees the experience fire campers’ imaginations and literally change their way of relating to learning.
• Nebulas: pre-K to K
• Stars: 1st and 2nd graders
• Supernovas: 3rd to 5th graders
ART, SCIENCE AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR BUDDING INNOVATORS
Kids are naturally curious and creative. They’re into everything. But with time, some of that natural spirit of exploration can get sucked out of them. Gradually, a fear of mistakes and their consequences can start to grow.
