HOW WE STARTED
Mount Cook was founded by outdoor enthusiasts and friends, Robin Sibson and Colin Adams. Having enjoyed many adventures throughout their lives and eager to give something back, Colin and Robin wanted to enable others to enjoy and appreciate the great outdoors through adventurous outdoor activities and outdoor learning in Derbyshire.
​The purpose-built centre took just 1 year to build and opened its doors to the public in July 2016.
​
Since the summer of 2016, we have welcomed over 30,000 individuals through our doors and continue to work with a variety of schools, groups, organisations and charities to provide exceptional outdoor experiences.
