YOUR DONATION DIRECTLY PROVIDES CHILDREN WITH HEART DISEASE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF CAMP.

Kids Play. Worries Rest. Fun Happens.

Camp Odayin is the leading camp in the Midwest for children with heart disease.

Camp Odayin provides fun, safe and supportive camp experiences and community building opportunities for young people with heart disease and their families. Our camp offers the opportunity to:
- strengthen self-confidence,
- gain independence,
- develop life skills, and
- meet other young people with similar health, emotional, and social concerns.

Camp Odayin offers residential camp, day camp, winter camp, and family camp experiences. For only $25, campers with heart disease, ages 6 to 17, enjoy swimming, boating, arts and crafts, volleyball, horseback riding, nature, basketball, music, and biking in a safe, medically-supervised environment. This year we served over 500 people through our programs and anticipate continued growth in the future.

    Nicole Marsh has enjoyed camping there several times. She is from Michigan and it is the best thing that has happened to her to know that there are other kids her age with similar heart problems, it really gave her others to relate to...Thanks again Sara for making this happen.
