Camp DaKaNi General Information
Camp DaKaNi welcomes campers ages 5 to 13. Every camper joins a small group of children in the same age range — for example, first- and second-grade girls, or fourth-grade boys and girls. A Camp Counselor leads each group through both the scheduled activities and the activities the group plans together. Each group also gets its own "Home-in-the-woods" mini-campsite to use as a home base for the week.
Campers enjoy a wholesome, balanced lunch every day. Mondays and Wednesdays are sack-lunch days, while Tuesdays and Thursdays are cookout days. On Friday, a hot dog lunch is served to every camper and family during the morning open house.
