Camp DaKaNi Day Camp will kick off its 53rd year of providing fun and engaging outdoor activities to youth across central Oklahoma. Over the years, Camp DaKaNi has become a well known summertime tradition offering fishing, hiking, arts and crafts, archery, a zip line, and much, much more.
Since its opening in 1956, Camp DaKaNi has provided traditional, quality outdoor experiences to youth. Nearly 51,000 campers have learned to cook over an open fire, raced frogs and turtles, and mastered the low ropes course.
“We are now starting to see the grandchildren of former campers and camp counselors,” said Jannie Matlock, Camp DaKaNi director. “It really says something about the quality of a camp when it has operated long enough to see several generations of a family come through its gates.”
Camp DaKaNi is located on Hefner Road, just west of Interstate 35 in Oklahoma City, and is open to boys and girls in kindergarten through 6th grade, as well as teen and adult volunteers. Membership is not required for campers to enjoy the summer programs at Camp DaKaNi.
“Because our camp sessions filled so quickly last year, we added an additional session to this year’s schedule,” said Matlock. “We want to allow as many children as possible the opportunity to discover the great outdoors and everything it has to offer.”
Five regular week-long sessions will take place on June 1, June 8, June 15, June 22 and July 6. Also, MaKaYa, an overnight camp, will be held at Camp DaKaNi from June 29 through July 1. MaKaYa, which means “persons under the trees”, is a mini-session for older campers in 6th through 12th grades who want to participate in outdoor activities without having to serve as a counselor or counselor aide.
The cost is $135 for the regular camp sessions, $90 for the MaKaYa session and $50 for before and after-care.
