Volunteer Camp Counselor or Nurse

“Camp Odayin gave me back the childhood that heart disease took from me.”

- Anders, camper for 11 years

At our medically-staffed camps in Minnesota and Wisconsin, Camp Odayin provides opportunities for children with heart disease to build connections and try new things. We are currently seeking volunteer cabin counselors and nurses for our overnight Summer Camps in Elkhorn, WI and Crosslake, MN.

During five days of overnight Summer Camp, each cabin of 6-8 campers is staffed by two cabin counselors and a nurse. Nurses distribute medications and provide first aid as needed. All volunteers have an opportunity to play while participating in activities with children/teens, encouraging growth, and serving as positive role models. No medical knowledge or experience is needed for cabin counselors. A training session prior to camp and a commitment for the full five day camp session is required of all volunteers. For those traveling from afar to camp, up to $300 in travel expense reimbursement (accommodations, gas, flights, etc) is available. Transportation to Crosslake, MN is provided from the Twin Cities.

Camp Odayin welcomes people of any race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. We are excited to receive applications from a broad spectrum of individuals.
