Financial Assistance Available

The cost is only $25/camper. We offer a sliding scale (starting at $0) for families so that cost is not a barrier to attending camp. For virtual camps, free ipad rentals are available. For in-person camps, we offer travel scholarships for families. Please contact us if you need further information regarding financial assistance.

Camp Odayin provides full service meals prepared on site including breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Parents disclose food allergies (nuts, eggs, milk, etc.) and restrictions (no pork, vegetarian, etc.) in the camp application.

Camp Odayin provides medically safe and emotionally supportive camp experiences and community building opportunities for young people with heart disease and their families. We positively impact camper lives by connecting them with friends who face similar medical challenges in the formative years when relationships, fun, and acceptance are vitally important!

Camp Odayin charges $0 or $25 to register for a camp program since cost should not be a barrier to attending camp. Free ipad rentals are available for our virtual programs and transportation scholarships are available to families for our in-person camps.

Camp Odayin partners with camp locations in MN and WI to primarily serve families in the mid-west region (Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago). However, children from all over the United States come to our in-person camp, and our virtual camp activities are even more accessible to heart families.
