YMCA steps in to preserve Camp DaKaNi’s legacy
Camp DaKaNi, a nearly 40-acre outdoor camp nestled in Oklahoma City, will now be managed by the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City through a new partnership aimed at preserving and expanding the beloved camp’s future. For decades, Camp Fire Heart of Oklahoma operated Camp DaKaNi at 3309 E. Hefner Road, serving generations of children and families, especially those involved with Camp Fire Boys & Girls. Struggling to recover from the pandemic’s
financial impact, the camp closed in 2024, a loss felt across the community. The YMCA plans to keep Camp DaKaNi in its current location and expand its impact by integrating the camp into its youth development and outdoor programs. Both organizations share a commitment to community and a passion for enriching young lives through nature- based experiences. Learn more at ymcaokc.org/campdakani.
