Camp Davern is a YWCA summer camp for girls 6–16 years old located near Maberly, Ontario, Canada, 100 kilometers west of Ottawa.
The camp has been in continuous operation since 1946, and now has some third-generation campers whose mothers and grandmothers also attended. Originally, a Canadian Pacific Railway train brought campers from Ottawa, stopping on the rail line just north of the camp to let them off. Today, campers travel from Ottawa on chartered buses.
Famous quotes containing the word camp:
“Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the logger’s camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
