“We are excited to continue our long-standing relationship with USA Bobsled and Skeleton as an official sponsor,” said Toby O’Rourke, CEO and president of Kampgrounds of America, Inc. “Across our team of more than 500 local campgrounds and the elite athletes of bobsled and skeleton, there’s a shared passion for dedication, hard work and teamwork that fuels excellence. We’re excited to cheer on the team and be part of their success yet again.”
USABS has a tradition of hosting a meet-and-greet at the Lake Placid/Whiteface KOA Holiday during off-season training camps, where team members have the opportunity to share their stories and sports with campers from all over the world. USABS athletes and team members look forward to connecting with more KOA campers in the lead-up to 2026.
