\u201cWhen we created Galileo, we wanted to design a business model that enabled us to serve thousands of lower-income campers\u2014without depending on foundations or fundraising\u2014and we\u2019re proud to have done just that,\u201d says Glen Tripp, Galileo Founder and CEO. \u201cOur pricing model charges full price to the majority of our customers, which allows us to offer a sliding fee system for those with fewer resources or who might be going through a crisis in their lives. <\/p>\n
“This year, more than 15 percent of our campers received support. We believe all kids should have access to high-quality summer programming, and we\u2019re committed to nurturing this program in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each year, Galileo launches the application in February for the upcoming summer. To connect with deserving families across California and Illinois, Galileo\u2019s team works closely with local school districts and organizations. <\/p>\n
