Woodcraft Rangers
The mission of Woodcraft Rangers is to guide young people as they explore pathways to purposeful lives. We provide children and youth from some of LA’s lowest-income neighborhoods with after-school enrichment programs, summer camps, and workforce development programs that are free or very low-cost.

PLAY ·2024 Grants ChallengeNature for All - Outdoor Education for Underserved Youth
With 100 years of experience in DEI-focused outdoor education, Woodcraft Rangers' Nature for All Program provides youth from low-income communities with outdoor education programs, including summer camps, nature retreats, and hiking excursions, that incorporate immersive wilderness experiences and environmental justice themes. The program serves youth lacking critical resources like access to green space and quality outdoor education programs, which are linked to the positive mental and health outcomes and enjoyed by wealthier LA neighborhoods.

Woodcraft Rangers Summer Enrichment Day Camp
A grant from LA2050 will support Woodcraft Rangers’ summer day camp by providing scholarships to children from low-income families. Woodcraft summer day camps enable 600 students to learn and play together with adult guides and mentors at Rosemead, Salt Lake, and South Gate parks for 11 hours/day over seven weeks, maximizing access for working parents. Each day includes arts, sports and wellness, STEM and leadership plus hot meals and academic support to help prevent summer learning loss.
