Counselor Aides (Ages 11–15)

Camp DaKaNi's Counselor Aide program helps youth ages 11 to 15 grow as leaders, preparing them to guide peers and eventually move into a Counselor position. On Monday morning, each Counselor Aide is paired with a Counselor who mentors them throughout the week. Aides assist with leading group activities and may take part in scheduled activities alongside their groups. To serve as a Counselor Aide during June sessions 1–4, participants must first finish the Counselor Aide in Training program.

A sack lunch is served on Monday and Wednesday, and a hot dog lunch is provided for each camper and family on Friday during the morning open house. Counselor Aide hours run 9:00am–3:30pm, with extended care offered from 7:00am to 6:00pm. Counselor Aides are welcome during any week of the summer.
