KOA offers free night of camping
Several Kampgrounds of America parks in Indiana will offer a free night of camping May 10 for campers who stay as paid guests on May 9 as part of Kampgrounds of America’s popular Come Camp and Care With Us Weekend.
Indiana KOA campgrounds offering the free stay are at Terre Haute, Crawfordsville, Elkhart Co./Middlebury Exit, Indianapolis, Richmond and South Bend East.
The event serves as a major fundraiser for KOA Care Camps for children with cancer. The 35 camps, throughout North America, offer children with cancer and their siblings a chance to experience summer camp in a safe environment while continuing with their medically supervised treatments.
To make reservations for Come Camp & Care With Us Weekend, visit www.koa.com. For more information on KOA Care Camps, go to www.koacarecamps.com.
