Value proposition

Outdoors for all.

Mount Cook Adventure Centre is a not-for-profit organisation which opened in July 2016 in Wirksworth, Derbyshire. We are dedicated to providing access to the outdoors and outdoor activities for all, especially young people and those who would not otherwise have the opportunity.

Our eco-friendly Centre can accommodate up to 140 guests in modern, ensuite bedrooms. A further 40 guests can be accommodated in our brand new, wooden Glamping Pods. Full catering is provided in our impressive glass-fronted Main Dining Hall, plus two indoor classroom spaces.

Our activities are an opportunity to try something different! Whether your scaling great heights on our high-ropes course, unleashing your inner Robin Hood with our archery sessions, or learning to paddle with our kayaking courses, we believe you are never too old to learn a new skill and overcome new challenges. Our other activities include: indoor climbing, bush craft & den building, team challenges, orienteering, fossil finding & gem panning, exploratory walks and caving.

If you are a school or university, youth group, charity, corporate group, a group of family or friends, or sports club - we would love to hear from you! We offer bespoke activity packages and residential trips which will suit your requirements and budget. Get in touch for more details!
