Review for Camp Odayin, Oakdale, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

When our son was diagnosised with a heart condition, the entire family was devistated. We saw a camp flyer in the dr's office and looked into camp odayin. What a Godsend this organization has been for our san and our entire family. The staff at Camp Odayin are angles on Earth. It is truely amazing what they have done for our son and the confindence and 'normalcy' that they gave back to him - it's really a gift that they so willingly share with all the kids. Our son, Andrew, looks forward to his week at camp mor than anything else. That is his time to be 'free' and not have worries about his heart. At camp, he can relax and just be a normal kid and have fun. It's almost impossible to put into words all the amazing and gifted people who participate at camp and make a HUGE difference for all these kids. I know it's only five (5) days out of the week, but what they give to Andrew will last him a lifetime and beyond. Thank you to all the people who make Camp Odayin possible and God Bless you all.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

helping lots of kids with heart disease

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

give Sara a million dollars

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the freedom that it gives our son for the week at camp and it doesn't put a financial burden on us

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

very amazing and giving individuals who love to give of them selves to the kids

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

help more kids (they come from around the world to attend camp at Camp Odayin)

Ways to make it better...

it was great

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

our current economy

One thing I'd also say is that...

everyone at Camp Odayin puts the needs of the campers first

Should this review be counted for a specific campaign?
