Woodcraft Rangers has stood apart by ensuring all youth, regardless of race, religion, or socioeconomic background, can experience the healing the power of nature-because every child deserves a safe space to belong, connect, and grow. Since launching its scouting and camping programs in Los Angeles in 1922, Woodcraft has championed whole child development and providing enriching opportunities for youth at little to no cost, exemplifying a commitment to a Camp-4-All.
