The Adventure Club Supports…

Our growth + evolution

In 2024, we connected with over 1,000 locals through small group adventures, classes, and other community events. Our membership model will help us continue sustainably. Members help shape our future adventures, so if you have an idea, let us know—we’re excited to grow with your support.

Paying our staff a livable wage

Our team works year-round to provide quality, educational community outings; even a free, 2-hour hike takes 4-6 hours of staff effort to plan and guide. We’re committed to thoughtful, small-group hikes and ensure our professional guides earn a living wage for every trip, including free events.

Necessary permits

As a professional guide service, we’re permitted and insured to operate within Alaska State Parks, Mat-Su Borough Trails, and state land, which require annual permit fees and per-person use fees. A membership covers these individual fees for our community hikes.
