Beloved OKC outdoor camp facing closure saved with new partnership
Two nonprofits are partnering to ensure the continued operation of a beloved outdoor space for children and families in the Oklahoma City metro area. Camp DaKaNi, an outdoor camp sitting on almost 40-acre in Oklahoma City, will fall under the stewardship of the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City through a new partnership between the YMCA and Camp DaKaNi. Camp Fire Heart of Oklahoma had operated the camp at 3309 E Hefner Road for decades. Numerous young people and families, particularly those affiliated with the Camp Fire Boys & Girls, expressed shock and grief in 2024 when Camp Fire Heart of Oklahoma officials announced the popular urban camp's closure due to financial struggles. The new partnership announced on Tuesday means the camp will come alive with trail walks, day camps and other activities once again. "This is an extraordinary example of what's possible when nonprofits work together for the greater good," Kelly Kay, YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City president and chief executive officer, said in a news release.

We're honored to continue that legacy and expand its reach to even more families." April Jolley, chief executive officer of Camp DaKaNi, expressed deep gratitude for the path forward. "Camp DaKaNi has always been about connection — to nature, to community and to one another," Jolley said in a statement. "This partnership with the YMCA allows that mission to grow and thrive. I'm incredibly proud of the resilience shown by so many in Oklahoma's nonprofit world who came together to make this possible." The two organizations said the transition secures the future of Camp DaKaNi and opens the door for expanded programming through the YMCA's extensive youth development and camp offerings. With aligned missions and a shared passion for community, both organizations are confident this partnership will only strengthen access to meaningful outdoor experiences for Oklahoma families. In their statement, the pair of nonprofits said the partnership was made possible through thoughtful collaboration and legal guidance, including instrumental support from Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond, whose office played a vital role in navigating the transition. "This agreement represents the best of public service and nonprofit cooperation," Drummond said in a news release. "Camp DaKaNi is a treasured space for Oklahoma families, and I'm proud that my office could support efforts to protect it for future generations." The YMCA and Camp DaKaNi said more information about summer camp programs and the future of Camp DaKaNi under YMCA leadership will be available soon.

Fall River releases certificates of inspection for Gabriel House
Fall River's building department released certificates of inspection for the assisted living facility where nine people died in a fire, Sunday night. The reports do not detail any of the conditions inside Gabriel House, which was converted to an assisted living facility in 1996. The reports do show a timeline of inspection by the city department. According to the records, the building was inspected annually until 2006 and then there is a gap in the records. No record of an inspection between 2017 and 2024 was provided to WBZ. The latest inspection occurred in October of 2024 and the certificate of inspection is set to expire this fall. One day after the deadly fire, employees and residents told WBZ about health and sanitation issues at the facility. "They had mice. They had cockroaches, infested with cockroaches, bed bugs. It was dirty, very dirty," said Debbie Johnson, a certified nursing assistant who worked at Gabriel House. "The elevator has been broken for the last four years, off and on forever and there's people stuck in their rooms, have to have their food brought to them." Another employee, who did not want to give her name, said she was unaware of any issues with the facility. During a 2023 review, state inspectors found issues with Gabriel House and issued a correction plan which included more training for certified nursing assistants and better cleaning and maintenance of medication boxes. During a news briefing on Tuesday, Fall River Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon did not respond to questions about inspections at the facility, citing the ongoing investigation. Bacon responded to allegations by the state and local fire union that his department is understaffed and has three firefighters per truck instead of four, which is the national standard. "Absolutely, if you gave me eight more firefighters on that scene, we're throwing more ladders, we're affecting more rescues more efficiently. That's a fact. I don't know if lives could have been saved or if it would have changed the incident at all," Bacon said. Bacon said he applied for a grant to get more firefighters on the job. The city has not yet provided WBZ with health or fire inspection reports of the Gabriel House location.
