Hei hei Rovers! This is Roverposten, the official newspaper for Roverway 2024. We are with you during Paths, Main Camp, and even after Roverway – to feed into the post-camp melancholy.
Throughout Roverway, you can count on us to provide you with fun articles on different activities taking place and interesting individuals that are far beyond Ordinary. Our goal is to serve as a collection of your own favourite Roverway moments, but also to give you insights into what other participants did. We want to make sure you make the most of the Roverway and get the total experience!
If you have fun stories or thoughts to share, we would love to hear from you and include them into Roverposten. Follow this link to share your input. Let’s be NORTH of the Ordinary together!
