About us
Camp Odayin provides fun, safe and supportive camp experiences and community building opportunities for young people with heart disease and their families. Our mission is based on a holistic approach to healing hearts, a desire to nurture and develop independence, confidence, and acceptance throughout our camper’s lives, the importance of a sense of community among our heart family, and an emphasis on having fun and celebrating life! The beautiful heartland of Minnesota is home to Ojibwa people. Our name derives its name from the Ojibwa word for heart, “odayin”.

"Camp Odayin has given me a home. I am accepted and cared for and I don’t have to worry. I can just be a kid." - 2024 Wisconsin Summer Camp Camper We're so grateful for the generosity of companies like Target. The funds we receive help us break down the barriers to a worry-free camp experience for kids with heart disease. Huge thanks to Target's employee rewards program, which allows team members to select local nonprofits for Target corporate funds to support. We're honored and grateful to have been chosen! #ThankfulThursday #OdayinThankfulThursday
