KOA to offer free camping in May at its RV parks

RV enthusiasts and other campers can spend a night free in a KOA campground in May and help raise money for sick kids. Nearly 400 KOA campgrounds across the U.S. and Canada are preparing for the 6th Annual “Come Kamp and Care With Us” charity event on May 8 and 9. Campers who make reservations at participating KOA campgrounds pay for only Friday, May 8 and camp for free on Saturday, May 9.

The promotion benefits KOA Care Camps, a network of 41 independent, specialized camps for children under treatment or in recovery from cancer, and their siblings. “Helping kids experience the camaraderie and fun of the outdoors with other cancer patients is in complete alignment with the mission of KOA, the goals of our KOA Owners Association, and is the very nature of what we do,” said KOA President and Chief Operating Officer Shane Ott.
