GALILEO Galileo Learning brings best-in-class educational programs

needs innovators and that innovation can be taught. We think kids
who learn to explore and who are willing to tackle challenges
despite their fears are happier, more creative, and more confident.
And we think kids with these skills are more likely to change our
world and be the masters of their own. We also know that we can---t
achieve our mission without staff who are role models of innovation
--- visionary, courageous, collaborative, determined and
reflective. It---s not always easy, and our camp staff work hard.
But part of what makes our camps great is our staff---s commitment
to sharing in and bringing camp magic to life---for campers, and
for themselves, whether that looks like donning a chicken hat for a
skit, or playing a board game with two campers to build connection.
Galileans take ownership of their own performance to make this
place better every day. They grow a ton, and have fun while doing
it. Check out our jobs videos for more about this role and working
