Zip lines, a water slide and an obstacle course made for an outdoor adventure that can’t be beat.

Up in the hills surrounding Irvine Park, the Irvine Ranch Outdoor Education Center hosted 250 mentors (Bigs) and Littles for the Big Brothers Big Sisters annual summer match event.

Sponsored by Meathead Movers and UnitedHealthcare, the fun-filled day offered the perfect opportunity to get outdoors, try something new and have some fun. Bigs and Littles usually spend one-on-one time together and choose their own outings, but signature events hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters like The Ranch allows them to meet others in the program as well.
