Camp DaKaNi welcomes youth 5 to 13 years old to attend camp as campers. At camp, Campers are pre-assigned to small groups of youth of similar ages. For example, 1st and 2nd grade girls or 4th-grade boys and girls. Groups are led by a Camp Counselor and participate in scheduled and group planned activities. Groups mark off “Home-in-the-woods” or small campsites that serve as their home base for the week. A healthy and well-balanced lunch is provided everyday for campers by Camp DaKaNi. Monday and Wednesday are sack lunch days and Tuesdays and Thursdays are cookout days. A hot dog lunch is provided for each camper and family on Friday during the morning open house.
