As part of our Road to CARIFTA journey, we wanted to shine a light on the incredible athletes who earned their place to represent Aruba at this prestigious regional competition. Before they headed off to compete, we brought all 32 athletes and their 3 coaches together for a special moment: a celebratory photoshoot to capture this milestone in their athletic careers.

For the setting, we chose one of Aruba’s most iconic and scenic locations—the majestic dunes behind the California Lighthouse. The dramatic landscape, paired with the bright energy of our athletes, resulted in a collection of colorful and powerful images that reflect the pride, strength, and unity of Team Aruba.

These images aren’t just photos—they’re memories to be treasured and a tribute to the dedication these athletes have shown on their road to CARIFTA.

Meet the Team

On social media, we introduced each athlete by age group, highlighting their achievements and giving them the recognition they deserve. It was a joy to celebrate each and every one of them with the community.
