Ron Clarke

Hi, I’m Ron Clarke and I am excited to be co-leading the NLC 2025U class. I live in Minneapolis, MN and am married to Betsy. We have 5 children and a cat: Alessia is married and has 3 boys; Emily graduated NLC in 2010; Peter is a young adult working at a pizza place; Camille is a Principia College sophomore and graduated NLC in 2019; Daniel is a high school senior and races on the high school mountain bike team; and our cat Alfred was named after Bruce Wayne’s butler.

Betsy and I enjoy camping, biking, mountain biking and hiking. We’ve worked as bunkhouse parents at the A/U Ranches and I did volunteer maintenance work at CedarS Camps. Betsy and I love to be active and outdoors. Between Betsy, me and the five kids we have spent summers at all but one of the six Christian Science camps!

I am the Kitchen Manager for Beacon Haven Christian Science Nursing Facility where I have worked with several high school/college student interns. A number of years ago I planned, organized and ran the youth portion for high schoolers of a regional Christian Science meeting in Chicago with lots of help from speakers and panelists along with camp directors Warren Huff from CedarS and Weldon Rutledge from Leelanau/Kohana. We had a fun, inspiring time and it was great preparation for becoming an NLC leader.
