Lakewood Ranch Community Activities (LWRCA) was created by Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, Inc. in the year 2000 to ensure Lakewood Ranch had a social structure for residents. LWRCA is a 501c not-for-profit corporation supported by Lakewood Ranch residents and community sponsors. Our mission is to enrich Lakewood Ranch by fostering a sense of community and friendships through four main areas of focus:
• Community Events - We host many of the large community events you’ve come to love such as BooFest, Tribute to Heroes Parade, Irish Celtic Festival, and Holidays Around the Ranch, just to name a few.
• Community Groups and Clubs - We help organize and promote over 60 community groups and clubs.
• Parks & Recreation Program - We activate our community parks through this dynamic recreation program.
• Virtual Programming - Our LWR 101: Resident Orientation is one of our signature programs, in addition to guided meditations, art lessons, and many more!

Sports are fun and they should be kept that way! They keep kids physically active and help build strong social, teamwork and leadership skills. But the reality is, kids are quitting sports
because the increased pressure of competition can make them less enjoyable.
All-In Youth Play is an inclusive youth program that encourages a love for movement, play, skill-building and teamwork, with fun being the main goal regardless of skill level.
* Forbes. “Age 11 Is When Kids Quit Sports, Here Is The Problem.” August 4, 2019.
AT LAKEWOOD RANCH, we’re putting the “FUN” back into sports with All-In Youth Play
The Challenge – As Seen in Forbes*• Most kids quit sports by age 11
• Kids leave sports because it’s no longer fun
• Less than a third of US youth reach an “active to healthy level” of fitness
• Leads to weight problems, obesity, and related health issues from childhood to adulthood
• May lead to loneliness and isolation
Our Approach -- All-In Youth Play• Help kids reach a healthy level of fitness
• Promote teamwork and social interaction
• Help build a stronger more active network (both youth and parents)
• Teach the basics of sports while having fun
• Create fun, active opportunities for kids
