believe that the world 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

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

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
