Jumping!
Skydiving is NOT required to join us! You can just come out and camp and watch people land if you like. If you DO want to jump, here is everything you need to know:
- Cost: as little as $210 and as much as $250 for a tandem skydive at 14,000 feet. Discounts are given according to how many people are in our group, so invite your friends! Pictures and video packages are optional and are available at an additional cost.
- Payment: payment is due upon arrival at the drop zone. We have a list of people in our group (remember to register) and they will get an email on Thursday (the day before our event) with the info they need to get a discount when they check in.
- Groupon deals: please, do NOT purchase any Groupon to use toward your jump. The discount you would have gotten though a Groupon will be honored.
- What do I need to know about jumping? All that info is here.
- But is skydiving safe?
