“The best week of the year!” That’s how campers describe our summer camp for children with heart disease. At Camp Odayin, heart heroes gain a sense of belonging, connect with nature, and have a ton of fun. Kind-hearted adults are invited to come play too! As a volunteer camp counselor or nurse, you'll splash in the lake, roast marshmallows, laugh, and create memories that last a lifetime, for our campers and YOU!
“I swear going to camp ages you in reverse, I felt like a kid again!”
- Holly, volunteer camp nurse
