Funding granted: $15,000
Camp Odayin is a non-profit organization offering a residential camping experience for children with heart disease. Campers discover outdoor, athletic and creative activities in a safe and medically supervised environment. The state-of-the-art facility is fully staffed by highly trained pediatric cardiologists, cardiac nurses and a full cadre of trained counselors and program directors. The only charge for a camper to attend is a $25 registration fee. Camp Odayin—the only camp of its kind in the Midwest—is a place where kids play, worries rest and fun happens! The donation the Mend a Heart Foundation plans to make will be used toward the cost of adding a fourth week of residential camp in the summer of 2010.
