Dads Day Weekend

Aug 16, 2025 - Aug 17, 2025 in Prior Lake, MN
Registration Deadline: Aug 03, 2025

Overview

Dads Day Weekend is a time of outdoor recreation in Prior Lake, MN to build camaraderie and connection between parents of children with heart disease.  We are excited to offer options to stay overnight at Mystic Lake Casino hotel and play golf on Sunday morning!

Choose your own adventure! Dads have the option to attend the entire weekend (Saturday morning to mid-afternoon Sunday), the full day on Saturday, or just golf on Sunday. Camp Odayin covers the costs for all activities, meals, lodging, and tee times for golf.

Any dad of a heart child who just graduated from 12th grade or younger is eligible to attend Dads Day Weekend, even if you or your child have never attended an Odayin program in the past.  Camp Odayin welcomes transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming parents to attend Dads Day Weekend or Moms Retreat

If you have questions on the cost of camp, contact the Camp Odayin office at info@campodayin.org.

"At Camp Odayin… “For the first time in my life, I was able to have not only one, but many conversations with other parents who actually could relate to our situation. Not only relate, they completely understood. Our conversations were not filled with pity and ‘oh how sad…’ or ‘that must be so difficult’ comments. I was able to talk to another dad about our children’s heart issues and concerns like we were talking about our kids playing sports on the same team. I can’t express to you how much that helps."
