Athletics & Academics Camps
Shaping Student-Athletes With Purpose and Power
Adonal Athletics & Academics Camps are rooted in a belief that youth development should be as dynamic and multifaceted as the kids themselves. These aren’t just basketball camps—they’re immersive learning experiences where athletic excellence and academic growth go hand in hand.
Hosted by the Kerosene Lamp Foundation, these high-energy camps blend basketball fundamentals with powerful life lessons for youth ages 7–17. Designed and led by Adonal and a team of NBA pros, coaches, and educators, the camps empower young people with tools in literacy, leadership, nutrition, and personal growth.
The Athletics & Academics model reflects Adonal’s lifelong commitment to helping young people unlock their full potential. It’s a space where kids don’t have to choose between books and basketball—they learn to thrive in both.

Why It Matters
Young people deserve safe spaces to learn, grow, and be inspired. Athletics & Academics Camps do more than improve jump shots—they plant seeds of confidence, ambition, and curiosity. They teach youth to believe in their own brilliance, to aim high, and to understand that greatness is about more than trophies—it’s about who you become along the way.
