About us
Woodcraft Rangers is a leader in expanded learning, supporting 25,000 youth at over 110 Title I schools throughout Los Angeles County, with before and after school enrichment, and summer day and sleepaway camp programs. In 1922, Woodcraft Rangers opened its doors in Los Angeles and began its mission of guiding young people as they explore pathways to purposeful lives. Always committed to access and inclusion, all youth regardless of their background were invited to participate and guided to develop a holistic sense of self through the “Woodcraft Way,” a fourfold path of body, mind, spirit, and service, and a precursor to the whole development model. Today, Woodcraft Rangers serves students from TK through high school in tailor-made programs to meet the specific needs of each school, neighborhood, or community. Additionally, Woodcraft boasts a robust and extensive catalogue that offers over 100 different enrichment options encompassing arts, sports and wellness, STEM, leadership and outdoor education with developmentally appropriate activities at all ages.
