Given the bug bites I get during the day, I can't imagine camping out there.

Also, to be even more grumpy about this, while I love the idea of charitable donations, I want to know where exactly my money is going.

I thought that the 2015 Camp-out donations were going to the Big Brother/Big Sister organization. I believe that I saw this either on the park's Twitter feed or on their Facebook account.

It took some digging, but I found your answer, Nicole. 100 percent of proceeds from the Coaster Campout will be donated to Boys & Girls Club of America.

All proceeds will benefit the non-profit organization Boy & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) through Cedar Fair Charities. For more than 150 years, Boys & Girls Clubs have changed and saved young lives during the out-of-school time. With more than 4,100 locations, serving nearly 4 million kids and teens each year, Clubs provide a safe place where kids have a positive and enriching experience, putting them on the path to success.

“Boys & Girls Clubs are redefining the opportunity equation today for America's kids and teens, impacting every community in the country," said Chad Royal-Pascoe, National Vice President, Corporate & Cause Partnerships for Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “We are excited and grateful for the support of Cedar Fair Charities to further our goals of empowering Clubs and kids to build a pathway that leads to a great future.”
