The Albert Lea/Austin Kampgrounds of America campground will offer camping May 9 for $10 as part of the annual KOA Care Camps Big Weekend to benefit KOA care camps for children with cancer, according to a press release.

Campers who stay as paying guests May 8 will receive a night of camping May 9 for $10. The entire $10 fee will benefit KOA care camps for children battling cancer.

The 12th annual KOA Care Camps Big Weekend event is the official start to the 2015 summer camping season and is being offered at participating KOAs throughout North America.

The Care Camps Big Weekend event is also the major fundraiser for KOA care camps for children with cancer, the official charity of KOA and the KOA Owners Association.

Donations raised during the May 8-9 weekend will all go to benefit KOA care camps, a network of 95 specialized, medically-equipped summer camps throughout North America that offer children battling cancer a true summer camp experience at no charge to their families.
