💙 Friends of Castaic Lake

Volunteer-Run. Community-Powered. 100% Local Impact.

Castaic Lake is one of the most valued outdoor spaces in our community—and the events you see here don’t happen by accident.

Friends of Castaic Lake (FOCL) is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit organization.

That means:

We have no paid staff
We rely entirely on volunteers
And every event is funded through donations, sponsorships, and community support

When you attend a FOCL event, you are experiencing something that is built by neighbors, families, and local volunteers who care deeply about keeping the lake active, safe, and accessible.

💙 Where Your Support Goes

Every dollar raised through FOCL goes directly back into the lake and community programming, including:

Community lake events and family activities
Youth fishing and recreation programs
Event supplies, safety equipment, and logistics
Volunteer coordination and event operations

Nothing is “extra.” Everything is reinvested right back into Castaic Lake.

💙 Why Donations Matter

While many people enjoy our events, most don’t realize they are only possible because of community funding.

We do not receive operational funding to run these events.

That means if we want to continue offering them—and grow them—we rely on people like you.

Even small contributions directly help us:

Keep events affordable and accessible
Support youth and family programming
Maintain safe and well-run lake experiences
Expand what we can offer the community

💙 Choose a Level That Works for You

Every contribution makes a difference:

$10 — Lake Supporter
