Adonal Foyle's Island Basketball Camp - Canouan In August of 2003, my friend Rod Westrate, a Peace Corps volunteer in Canouan told me that NBA player Adonal Foyle of the Golden State Warriors, born and raised in Canoun, was going to hold the first ever Adonal Foyle Island Basketball Camp, and that he was going to be helping out. He managed to get Roxie and I a hotel room at the Tamirand Beach Hotel and Roxie and I spent a few days working with Adonal and his crew. It was a great experience working with the kids and getting to know a few NBA players.
