Day 4 and graduation for our first session of 50 enrolled students! πŸŒ»πŸŽ“

What an amazing day at the ranch! Where do we even start? πŸ’š

Today our students enjoyed story time with Maritza Higuera’s book If I Eat My Fruits and Vegetables, and every student took home a signed book directly from the author! πŸ“šβœ¨

We were honored to welcome Santa Cruz County Justice of the Peace Adriana Olaiz, who met with our students and led a special pledge about being good students, good citizens, and continuing to support our community.

Engineer Cota from Rio Rico Fire introduced himself, shared about his work, gave our students a tour of the fire truck, and treated everyone to a fun cool-down on this hot day! πŸš’πŸ’¦

We also celebrated each student with certificates and enjoyed every single moment together.

Thank you to the Rio Rico Historical Museum for joining us again, to Aureliano for your kindness and for teaching our students about plants, and to Nathalie and Javier from food service SFE for bringing breakfast every morning. Our students got to take home melons 🍈, nopales, seeds and plants to continue their learning at home!

Thank you to all our volunteers, partners, and amazing community leaders for giving our students the tools, love, and kindness they deserve.

Our hearts are full! πŸ’š
Session 2, we are ready for you! Let’s go! 🌻

πŸŒ»πŸ’š Day 3 at M&M Family Orchard Educational Ranch was AMAZING! πŸ’šπŸŒ»

We started our morning with a delicious breakfast thanks to our incredible partners! A special thank you to Nathalie, Javier, and the amazing SFE Program for making sure our students receive a nutritious breakfast every morning at 8:00 AM. Your support helps our campers start each day ready to learn and explore!

Today, our students learned how to make natural body scrubs using lavender πŸͺ» grown right here at the ranch. It was a fun hands-on activity that taught them about natural ingredients, wellness, and the many uses of plants.

Another wonderful highlight was a visit from our amazing friend Aureliano. Every year, Aureliano generously supports our students, and today he donated 12 plants to raffle between our students!! Aureliano grows his plants from seed and shares his love of gardening with our community. Thank you for your kindness and continued support of our students! 🌱

We also continued learning about our ranch animals, responsible animal care, and the importance of groundwater conservationβ€”helping students understand how to protect one of our most valuable natural resources.

Nothing makes us happier than seeing our students learning, making new friends, building confidence, and having fun outdoors. πŸŒ»πŸπŸ’§

Thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, partners, and supporters for making these free summer camps possible year after year. Together, we are creating meaningful opportunities and lifelong memories for our children and families. πŸ’šβ˜€οΈ

πŸŒ΅β˜€οΈ Another Amazing Day at M&M Family Orchard Educational Ranch! β˜€οΈπŸŒ΅

Today our summer camp students had a wonderful day full of learning, exploration, and hands-on experiences!

Did you know? 🌡 Nopales are packed with fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, and have been part of the culture and nutrition of the Southwest for generations. They can help support healthy digestion and are a nutritious addition to many meals!

Today our students learned all about nopales, tasted them prepared in two different ways, and each child took home a penca de nopal to continue learning with their families.

We also planted trees and talked about the importance of caring for our environment and leaving a greener future for the next generation. πŸŒ³πŸ’š

A special thank you to the Rio Rico Historical Society and Museum for visiting us today and extending a wonderful invitation to all of our summer camp students. Learning about our local history helps our children connect with the community they call home.

We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, partners, volunteers, and collaborators who continue making these FREE educational opportunities possible for our children. Together, we are creating experiences that inspire curiosity, healthy habits, environmental stewardship, and a love for learning.

Thank you for believing in our community and helping us make a difference one child at a time! πŸŒ»πŸ’š

🌻 Day 1 at M&M Family Orchard Summer Camp was a success! 🌻

Today, our students jumped right into hands-on learning as they rotated through different stations, including planting sunflower seeds, meeting and feeding animals, exploring groundwater education through Project WET, decorating their planting buckets, feeding our koi fish, and making new friends along the way. πŸŒ±πŸ΄πŸ‘πŸŸπŸ’§

One of the things we love most about our camp is that every child gets the opportunity to experience every activity through small group rotations, creating meaningful learning experiences and lasting memories.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible volunteers who gave their time, energy, patience, and love to make today possible. Your dedication helps create a welcoming environment where children can learn, explore, and grow. πŸ’š

We are also deeply grateful to our amazing sponsors and community partners. Because of your support, we are able to offer these camps FREE to families and provide opportunities that are not always available in our rural and border communities.

Together, we are investing in our children, strengthening our community, and showing our youth that they are valued, supported, and capable of amazing things.

Thank you for helping us make a differenceβ€”one child, one family, and one experience at a time. πŸŒ»πŸ’š
