Camping in the great outdoors comes with its own set of benefits for more economical travel. When a campground is located near an amusement park, camping makes for a very viable option for families.
Kampgrounds of America (KOA) has launched their annual Care Camp Big Weekend, offering a $20 Saturday night stay when you stay Friday night (May 8-9, 2020). The Care Camps Big Weekend helps raise funds to send kids with cancer to medically-supervised camps all across North America. Kids fighting cancer deserve a chance to attend a summer camp and to just be a kid again. Funds raised from May 9 support the KOA Care Camps Trust which distributes more than $1 million dollars annually to support 125+ Care Camps each year. Learn more at koacarecamps.org.
Our family happens to love staying in the KOA cabins located at Kings Dominion and generally only camp at KOA sites throughout North America!
So how can the Care Camp Big Weekend benefit you, your friends and family?
