Ned Yonkers on Shared Experiences, The Upside of Homesickness, & The Key to Feeling a Sense of Belonging

The Camp Voyageur Podcast

Ned started coming to Camp when he was 9 years old back in 2004. He made the long journey from New Hampshire to Ely every summer until 2018. From overnight trips to long expeditions in remote wilderness, Ned fell in love with the outdoors while at Camp, and forged some of his tightest bonds while on the trail. He now works as a university space planner in Boston, Massachusetts.
