Camp Galileo began as a Bay Area summer camp founded in Palo Alto, California, USA, by CEO Glen Tripp, a graduate of Stanford University. Drawing heavily from the innovation process inspired by the Institute of Design at Standford, Galileo runs an evolving series of programs for kids pre-K through 8th grade. For kids pre-K through 5th grade, there’s Camp Galileo. For kids from 5th grade through 8th, there’s Galileo Summer Quest. Galileo also designs and runs camps for The Tech Museum of Innovation — 4th-8th grade. (Camp Galileo ) campers participate in an integrated mix of art, science and an outdoor enrichment curriculum calibrated for their age group and presented via a week-long theme. They learn team-building exercises, game-changing lessons, the power of collaboration as well as traditional camp activities. Campers are grouped by grade level into teams that stay together throughout the week. Group names are: "Nebulas" (Kindergarteners), "Stars" (1st and 2nd graders) and "Supernovas" (3rd through 5th graders). The teams are led by a Team Leader, who guides them through each rotation during the day. Summer Interns aid instructors in classroom and activity preparation. Lead Instructors, many of whom are classroom teachers during the school year, deliver instruction in the art, science and outdoor activities. (Galileo Summer Quest ) provides an environment where kids entering 5th grade through 8th grade choose from over a dozen majors, then spend an entire week at a time focused on realizing their own personal vision. Campers are surrounded with expert instructors as collaborators and use professional tools and materials. Examples of majors offered are go-kart building, fashion design, cooking, website and video game design. 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. More children will attend Camp Galileo than any other camp in the Bay Area. ==References== * * * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camp Galileo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
