Camp Davern

Camp Davern's ethos centers on a back-to-nature approach. Camp Davern is located close to Maberly, Ontario, occupying a 150-acre site. Up to 120 kids aged between 7 and 16 can attend at any one time.

As well as summer camps, outdoor education programs are offered in spring and fall at Camp Davern. This is a non-denominational camp, and sessions last for one week or a fortnight. The philosophy here focuses on two things — trying out new things and forging friendships.

A variety of on-land and water activities are offered. Children can also get involved in arts pursuits and projects, undertake challenges and treks, or head out canoe-tripping for up to 10 nights. As well as sports, survival skills form part of the on-land program.

It was initially established as an all-girls camp back in 1946 before growing and expanding till today welcoming all, including entire families at their weekend family camps.
