What's Good Near Kingston: Camp Davern camper contest ends but summer spots still open

Organizers say families can still apply for 2026 sessions after contest winner announced

While Camp Davern's recent camper contest has wrapped up and a winner has been selected, families still have time to register children for upcoming summer sessions.

Located near Maberly, Ontario, about an hour north of Kingston, Camp Davern offers overnight camp experiences for children and youth aged seven to 16. The camp sits on 150 acres of forest, trails, and open green space, with room for up to 120 campers during each session.

Assistant Director of Program and Counselling Ben Banfield says Camp Davern focuses on traditional summer camp experiences that encourage personal growth, outdoor adventure, and lifelong memories.

Banfield added that friendships formed at Davern often last long after campers return home, describing it as a community built on integrity and discovery. 

He tells us more of the programs that the camp offers.

Banfield adds that the camp provides an opportunity for kids to unplug and reconnect with nature, friends, and themselves.

Registration remains open online for families seeking a traditional Canadian summer camp experience in a natural setting close to Kingston and eastern Ontario communities area.
