Summer Pool Day 2026
At Baja Angels of the Sea, we believe every child deserves a moment of pure, unbridled joy. On August 26, 2026, we are making that happen, bringing children from local orphanages, farms, and women’s shelters to El Palmar Paradise, North Baja’s largest aquatic park, for an unforgettable day in the sun. 🌊☀️

A Day They’ll Never Forget
For many of these children, this will be their very first time at a water park. No worries, no hardship, just rides, splashing, laughter, food, and the simple gift of being a kid.
El Palmar Paradise has generously offered free entry for the first 50 children. With your support, we can bring even more kids through those gates.

Last Year’s Magic 💙
Last year, nearly 180 children and mothers from orphanages and safe houses gathered at El Palmar Paradise for a day that none of them, or us, will ever forget. With 27 volunteers, 28 donors, and $2,245 raised, we filled the park with laughter, water games, floaties, and pure joy. Many of the children had never been to a water park before. Their smiles said everything.
As our founder, Bruno Barbieri, shared afterward: “I can still feel the joy and happiness they expressed, a little sunburned but shining with unforgettable smiles of gratitude.”
This year, we’re going back. And we want to bring even more kids with us. 💙
