Since 2003, KLF Founder, Adonal Foyle has returned home to St. Vincent and the Grenadines to hold his free Athletics & Academics Island Camps (A & A Camps). Led by Adonal and a staff of NBA professional athletes, coaches and US-based volunteers, the camps go beyond teaching basketball skills, to also address the areas of health (HIV/AIDS and nutrition), social skills, and education (with a focus on literacy).
The A & A Camps combine the fundamentals of basketball with educational messages to create a unique and fun-filled experience for youths aged 7 to 17.
To date, KLF has held eighteen camps in St. Vincent & the Grenadines over four summers, reaching over 2500 children.

Adonal holds a similar version of the Athletics & Academics Camps in the San Francisco Bay Area. These camps are for-profit, however KLF provides a number of scholarships for youths from low-income households. Donations to our scholarship program are tax-deductible.
