General Description -
Registration- $385
Registration is used to pay coaches for their time and help our out-of-town coaches cover their travel. As well as paying for the camp T shirt (we make a one-of-a-kind t shirt that is only made 1 time for anyone that participates in that specific camp). Registration also pays our camera flyers as well as paying for their tickets to be on the plane.
The focus of the camp will be to increase knowledge on tracking/angle safety and flight skills. We will be discussing how to create a successful flight plan, exits, break-off procedure, and general safety awareness. All skill levels welcome.
THE CAMP IS BROKEN DOWN INTO 3 SKILL LEVEL CATEGORIES SO WE CAN ACCOMODATE ALL FLYERS THAT MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. GROUP SKILL LEVEL BREAKDOWNS CAN BE FOUND BELOW.
THERE IS A RANGE OF SKILL LEVELS AND EXPERIENCES POSSIBLE IN THE SKILL LEVEL CATEGORIES. GROUPS WITHIN SKILL LEVEL CATEGORIES, WILL BE CREATED BASED ON AN INDIVIDUAL’S SKILL AND EXPERIENCE, IN RELATION TO OTHER FLYERS. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO CREATE GROUPS THAT WILL FLY THE BEST TOGETHER AND CREATE A MORE EFFICIENT LEARNING PROCESS. Groups will remain the same throughout the weekend. the coaches WILL rotatE groups for the second day.
6 jumps a day with the option to do more if the group DESIRES. Each jump will be designed to target the collective goals of the group with video debrief.
EACH REGISTERED PARTICIPANT WILL BE COMMITTED TO MAKING 6 JUMPS PER DAY. IF FOR SOME REASON A PARTICIPANT CAN NOT MAKE A JUMP THEIR GROUP IS MAKING, THEY WILL STILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE SKYDIVE. ONLY EXCEPTIONS ARE:
INJURY OR MAJOR ILLNESS
CONSISTENT WINDS OVER 20 MPH
WIND GUST SPREADS OVER 12 MPH
ANY JUMPS MADE AFTER THE 6 JUMPS YOU ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE EACH DAY WILL BE OPTIONAL. IF YOUR GROUP CHOOSES TO CONTINUE JUMPING AND YOU DO NOT WISH TO CONTINUE AS WELL, YOU WILL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO DO SO AND WILL NOT HAVE PAY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL JUMPS YOUR GROUP MAKES.
In the case of bad weather where no jumps are made throughout the day, we will have tunnel time booked after hours in the tunnel where groups can build skills with our coaches. The registration fee covers the tunnel coaching fee. The funds that would have been used for jump tickets will be used to buy the tunnel time. On days where some groups make jumps and other groups opt not to, the group may be able to fly in the tunnel that evening with their coach of the day. Our goal is always progression, and to provide the best product for the registration fee!
