Counselor Aides (Ages 11–15)
Camp DaKaNi's Counselor Aide program is designed to help young people build confidence as leaders among their peers while preparing them for the day they may step into the role of camp Counselor. On Monday morning, every Counselor Aide is paired with a Counselor who serves as a personal mentor throughout the week.
All week long, Counselor Aides assist their mentor by helping to lead group activities, and they also join in the scheduled activities with their groups. Before taking on the Counselor Aide role, participants need to finish the Counselor Aide in Training program, which is offered during June sessions 1–4.
