Camp DaKaNi is back and ready to provide kids ages 7–14 with a summer full of adventure, friendships, development, and fun! With nine themed weeks and nine specialty camps, there is something for every camper to enjoy. The first week of DaKaNi’s summer day camp begins Monday, June 1.
Now part of the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City family, Camp DaKaNi continues its tradition of helping children gain confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging in a fun and supportive environment. From themed adventures and nature-filled experiences to outdoor challenges and creative play, every day offers new opportunities for campers to explore, learn, and grow.
“Campers can look forward to a summer full of themed adventures, hands-on specialty experiences, and moments that spark new friendships and passions,” said Stephanie Wiliams, executive director. “More than anything, they’ll experience growth, improved confidence, new skills, and a strong sense of belonging along the way.”
For families considering where to send their child for a summer day camp, Camp DaKaNi is an excellent choice! It provides a safe and welcoming environment led by trained staff who are passionate about helping every child in their care thrive.
“It’s incredibly meaningful to be part of bringing Camp DaKaNi to life for our families and community,” Williams shared. “We’re honored to help grow a place that will build confidence, connection, and opportunity for many years to come.”
Registration for day camp at Camp DaKaNi is now open for summer 2026.
