    Pat Kelsey (better known as PK) has worked on and off for KOA these past 4 years. PK and his wife Patt have recently sold their Jellystone Park resort in Northern Michigan after 25 years of operation. “We raised all 3 kids in the camp/resort environment” and I can’t imagine a better lifestyle for building character, social skills, and work ethics. Santa
    Cruz/Monterey Bay KOA is a lot like our past resort with heavy emphasis on family recreation, planned activities, Lodges, Cabins, camp store and much, much more. We look forward to many years of spoiling “you” our guest with not only an enthusiastic, capable staff, but with gorgeous landscaped sites, well maintained facilities and uncompromising service.
