Before I became a photographer (and a mom, for that matter) I was a teacher.  And during my training I became very passionate about hands on, meaningful learning that promotes social collaboration and sense making.  In other words, I hate worksheets, busy work, and rote memorization.  Camp Galileo and I get a long great, because they feel the same way.

If you are looking for a place to send your kids this summer, there is still room at many of the sites.  Visit http://www.galileo-learning.com/ to see the sites and learn more…but scroll down here to see the kids in action!

Last week I went with the marketing director to 2 different sites & programs to take marketing pictures.  I think I took close to 1,500 images of kids engage in thoughtful and relevant learning – and having fun! I choose just a few to post here.  They all make me wish I was a kid again!

Here’s a camper and a Lead Instructor at the Fashion Design lab:

And just being really cute:

Thursday is water day…see for yourself.  Do you think these kids are having fun?

Can’t wait for the next Galileo Learning Photography assignment!!
