Chabot Space & Science Camp is powered by Galileo and held at Chabot Space & Science Center in the Oakland Hills, right off Highway 13 at 10000 Skyline Blvd. in Oakland.


Chabot Space & Science Camp Director, Emily Kuhlmann

Emily joined Galileo in 2010 as Camp Galileo Hillsborough's Camp Director and is thrilled to embark on year two as the Program Director of Chabot Space & Science Camp. After graduating from UC Santa Barbara with a bachelor's degree in sociology, Emily moved to Thailand, where she taught English, trained teachers and traveled to her heart's content. Upon her arrival back in the United States, Emily began teaching science classes at Girls Inc., where she discovered her passion for helping youth find creative solutions to their questions about the world around them.

About Galileo

Galileo's mission is to create a world of fearless innovators. We think kids who learn to explore and fail without fear - the essence of innovation - are happier, more creative and more confident when faced with life’s challenges. They don’t always get this incredible boost in school, but thousands of them have been getting it at Galileo camps since 2002. Drawing heavily from the innovation process developed by the Stanford Institute of Design, Galileo designs and run a constantly-evolving series of programs for kids from pre-K through 8th grade.


Other Galileo Camps

Camp Galileo (Pre-K – 5th grades): Budding innovators participate in a carefully integrated mix of art, science and outdoor activities, calibrated for their age group and presented via a whimsical weeklong narrative arc.

Galileo Summer Quest (5th – 8th grades): Older innovators choose one of 14 majors, then spend an entire week focused on realizing their own personal vision - whether they’re designing a fashion line or video game, creating their signature recipe or building a high-performance go-kart.

The Tech Summer Camps (4th – 8th grades): Our partnership with the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose produces more than 20 riveting, real-world science and technology classes for aspiring innovators.

"My kids were already excited and energized by science, so I was thrilled that the staff at Chabot Space & Science Camp managed to awaken even more curiosity in them."
