Skylark Ranch: Restoring Our Home, Rooted in Resilience

A once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore, expand, and sustain Skylark Girl Scout Ranch—a place where generations of Girl Scouts have discovered their strength, forged friendships, and explored the world around them.Help us ensure Girl Scouts is available to every young person who dreams big—your donation has lasting impact!

A Place Worth Protecting

For decades, Skylark has welcomed Girl Scouts to challenge themselves, build lifelong friendships, and form a deep connection with the land. But in 2020, the CZU Lightning Complex Fire changed everything, devastating our beloved camp and leaving behind the question—what comes next?

The answer is resilience.

With the strength of our community, Skylark is being restored—not just to what it was, but into something even more sustainable, accessible, and ready for future generations of Girl Scouts to explore.

A Commitment to Stewardship

Restoring Skylark is about more than rebuilding structures. It’s about honoring the land, protecting its natural beauty, and ensuring that future campers can continue to experience the magic of this place. Rooted in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Skylark is a place worth protecting —and we are committed to restoring it with resilience.

Together we will:

Restore

Bring back essential camp infrastructure lost in the fire, while honoring the land through thoughtful stewardship and sustainable design.

Expand

Create new spaces and experiences that ignite curiosity, from outdoor exploration to STEM innovation and leadership development.

Sustain

Ensure long-term impact by building with resilience in mind—so Skylark Ranch can welcome future generations of Girl Scouts.
