Monastery?

One of my fellow roadtrippers has heard that you can stay at a monastery or convent on the east coast for free and I was wondering if anyone had any info on this.

A group of us girls are road trippin' it this spring break Missouri-Knoxville-Richmond-Pittsburgh-Cinnicinati and back and any hints or interesting places would be great, we are going Mid-March

Would it be too cold in Mid-March to camp out in a tent at campsites along the way?

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT! THANKS!

...if the "offering of your choosing" was nothing, then you could stay for free. But as
the article notes, these accommodations are not for everyone.

Sorry, didn't mean "free" like that, I know they take donations and we were planning on doing that (I just realized what a freeloader I sounded like on my post above)

Here's another, a convent, found by one of our members. And average March night time temperatures are still below freezing in Pittsburgh (for example), so I wouldn't count on doing too much camping.
