From HeartWorks:
We’re incredibly grateful for our ongoing partnership with Camp Odayin, an organization whose heart-centered mission truly aligns with HeartWorks. Their unwavering commitment to building safe, joyful, and empowering experiences for young people with heart disease and their families is nothing short of inspiring. By creating an environment where “kids play, worries rest, and fun happens,” Camp Odayin not only nurtures the well-being of its campers but also builds a stronger, more connected community rooted in compassion and care.
We’re honored that Camp Odayin is helping to spread the word about the Co-op at HeartWorks and co-host an event this winter with us. We are also excited to help them fill their vital volunteer spots. Volunteering with Camp Odayin is a unique and meaningful way to make a lasting impact, whether as a nurse, counselor, or support staff at one of their camps throughout the year. We encourage our community to join this incredible cause and experience the joy of supporting kids who truly deserve every opportunity to grow, play, and thrive.
Thank you, Camp Odayin, for the incredible work you do.
