Company History
Pathfinder Ranch is a non-profit camp. It was founded in 1964 when Walker and Ralph Smith donated the original 28 acres to the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Springs to provide a summer camp for Club members to get away from the heat of the Coachella Valley. For the first few summers the Ranch served 50 campers who slept in tents and cooked over an open fire. Now, through the gracious donations of many individuals and organizations, Pathfinder Ranch has developed into a 72 acre year round facility with three major programs: Summer Camp, Outdoor Education, and Weekend Retreat.
