What Makes YMCA Camp Dakani Unforgettable?
There is no place like camp. At YMCA Camp Dakani, nature comes to life through hands-on outdoor adventure, creative activities, skill building and character growth. Campers spend their days unplugged and engaged in experiences that build confidence, friendships and memories that last long after summer ends.
Campers have opportunities to try a wide range of activities designed to balance fun and growth. From zip lines and low ropes challenges to hiking, creative arts and outdoor cooking, they are encouraged to stretch their abilities. Every activity is designed not just for fun, but to help kids discover strengths, try new things and connect deeper with the world around them.
Each week offers rotating themes and specialty camps that appeal to a variety of interests. Dress Up Theme Thursdays range from superheroes and pirates to dino discoveries and Wild West week. Specialty camps offer options that range from sports, survival skills and target sports to creative pursuits like leather crafts, wearable art, performance, woodworking, cooking and gardening. These experiences give campers something new to look forward to each week while strengthening confidence, teamwork and a lasting connection to the outdoors.
Experience the wonder, challenges and self-discovery that can only be found outdoors. Running Monday through Friday, Camp Dakani is a day camp in OKC for campers ages 7-14.
