Catch up on what happened this week in Medford.
Outdoor enthusiast joins year-round team at Camp Ockanickon
YMCA Camp Ockanickon recently welcomed Carol Yard as the organization’s Outdoor Center Director. She comes to the Medford camp from Asheville, N.C., where she worked as the Program Director for YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly.
“At Ockanickon, I’ll be working with guest groups and ensuring that their time here is the best possible experience it can be, and I’ll be overseeing our BOLD & GOLD program,” Yard said. “I’m looking forward to getting to know the Ockanickon staff who work together to make experiences amazing. One of the joys in previous jobs has been to mentor staff and see them really grow and learn from taking on leadership of groups and reflecting on those experiences. I expect there will be opportunities for that here as well. I’m also looking forward to getting to know the groups who come and learning about their visions and what drives them.”
