Derwent Hill Outdoor Adventure Days

Each morning our minibus will pick up adventurers in Cockermouth at 9am and bring them to the beautiful Derwent Hill, just outside Keswick.

The children and their tutors will decide what outdoor activity will be best that morning. It might be canoeing out to island on Derwent Water for hot chocolate or it might be getting harnesses and ropes organised to climb up the nets and logs of our High Challenge equipment or it might be learning how to light fires in our bush craft area in the woods. Other options include low ropes course, orienteering, kayaking, paddle boarding, abseiling, rock climbing, gorge walking, mountain walking and mine exploring.

Every one will come back into the centre for lunch at 12.30ish, and then back out for a different adventure in the afternoon.

At 3.30pm we will herd the happy, tired, wet, muddy children back into the bus and bring them back to Cockermouth full of stories of adventure.
