From my experience yes, they appreciate a good summer in the sun. Just be careful about aclimitizing them to full sun or they'll toast up a bit at first. They seem to just explode when the summer bakes them and a natural food source is there.
Many wont make the winter though and aren't too keen on cooler temperatures.
Examples of some you can leave out all year. D.rotundafolia, D.intermedia, D.anglica
Drosera like D.capensis,D.spatulata, D.paradoxa will not handle frost. They'll die, rot and never come back.
But like justin mention there are maaany different types.
Hope this sheds some light. Ng

Temperate sundews should fair fantastic outside. I've only had sundews outside for a few weeks just to see how they'd do, the sun really colours them up. Like what Nolan said, the natural food source really does help in their growth. I would recommend you keep south American and Sub-tropic sundews indoors under grow lights, but I know many people who have success growing them outside. Try them outside, acclimatize them slowly to the heat of the sun.
As for dividing, usually the best time is early spring when the plants are still in dormancy but waking up. You can divide them during the summer but expect some delay in growth as the plants would need to acclimate to their new conditions.
