Nobody move a muscle…our 2026 Spring Family Weekend is open for applications!
Join VICTA on a Jurassic journey to Mount Cook, an old mining quarry which promises great adventure and much to discover.
The VICTA Spring Family Weekend will be at a roar-some new venue this year. We are heading to Mount Cook Adventure Centre, Middleton, Derbyshire. The area is rich with fossils, minerals and a wide variety of activity spaces for us to enjoy. Mount Cook prides itself on being environmentally sustainable, and we will have exclusive use of the venue. The centre is specially designed for school and youth groups, offering comfy dorm-style rooms – and great news: every room has its own ensuite bathroom. With amazing indoor and outdoor activity facilities all around us, we’re in for an unforgettable time!
Activities on offer at the centre include High and Low Ropes, Rock Climbing & Scrambling, Abseiling, Bushcraft, Archery, Tag & Maze Cube, Zipwire & Traverse Cube, The Via Ferrata (traverse across a quarry and a variety of obstacles using handholds, footholds and limestone rock), Indoor Climbing & Land Karts, Team Building Activities, Raft Building and Canoeing. The activities will be run by the Mount Cook activity staff who ensure everyone has an amazing time.
VICTA is looking for volunteers to support us at our Spring Family Weekend in Middleton, Derbyshire.
Children take part in the activities in groups arranged by age with the support of VICTA volunteers and the centre staff. Our volunteers play an invaluable role at our Family Weekends; you are out and about supporting the children during their activities and helping them make lifelong memories. Our Family Weekends are a great first activity for volunteers new to VICTA.
