Rove Co
Join Our Adventures and Meetups
Our story
I am a military spouse who LOVES living in Fairbanks, AK, but encountered many barriers and limited resources for learning how to safely explore the outdoors (especially with a spouse who was overseas our first 2 winters here). Navigating Alaska’s wilderness can be daunting, dangerous and intimidating to a point where people avoid the outdoors. I created Rove Co to represent a more accessible community and be a foundation in education for adventuring. I want all ages and skill levels to feel they have opportunities to be successful outdoors. Join our journey and community and Find Your Way Outdoors.
