Camp
Odayin provides a residential camping experience for young
people with heart disease, where campers discover outdoor,
athletic, and creative activities in a safe and medically
supervised environment. Campers enjoy swimming, boating, arts
and crafts, volleyball, nature, basketball, music, horseback
riding, and biking while fostering lifelong relationships with
youth who share similar health, emotional and social concerns.
The resident and family camp programs are
located 160 miles north of Minneapolis / St. Paul, Minnesota at
Camp Knutson. Day camp is held at Dodge Nature Center in West
St. Paul, Minnesota.
