Nature Rangers Wilderness Programs
Last checked August 2026
Nature Rangers is a Santa Barbara nonprofit offering outdoor, nature-based programs for kids, including week-long day camps held when school is out. Days are built around hands-on nature activities - science quests, wilderness skills and badges, nature games, art, and journaling - designed to build focus, resilience, and emotional regulation. It also runs homeschool, after-school, and preschool ('Little Rangers') programs, and offers scholarships.

★★★★★Cormac O'BrienBoth of my kids attended Nature Rangers for one week and they can't stop asking about returning again! The staff and their solid ethos and as compared to previous camps we've used in the area. I love how they have programs for kids of most ages and you get to see so much of our great outdoors here in our community. We will be back!
