You don’t have to be a skydiver to be a “Dropout”.
There are three different ways you can make your first skydive:
There are three different ways you can make your first skydive:
Accelerated Free Fall (AFF)
The course begins early in the morning with the primary training from certified USPA instructors, video, virtual computer simulation and lots of ground practice. We’ll ease your basic fear of letting go of an airborne aircraft. You’ll learn how to fre
efall, deploy and fly your parachute, and land softly and safely on the airport. Please plan on spending the whole day for this program.
efall, deploy and fly your parachute, and land softly and safely on the airport. Please plan on spending the whole day for this program.If the weather and time permits, you will get to make your first AFF jump later the same day. On your AFF jump, you will exit the aircraft with two AFF jump masters along side, coaching you and giving feedback as you fly. You’ll free fall for over one mile, then deploy your parachute (Don’t worry, if you don't your jump master will assist you), and you then solo pilot your parachute with radio assistance towards an on target landing at the drop zone.
The Regular (non-Dropout) Price is $339
The Dropouts price is $264
Basic Free Fall (Static Line)
The static line program has long been a favorite of the Dropouts. The training takes approximately four hours. Once the training is complete you will jump, in the order that you registered, as long as weather and daylight permit. Please plan on spending the whole day for this program
The first part 
of your training includes a detailed video that lets you see exactly what you'll be doing later that day. It includes aircraft exit procedures, parachute flight, landings, emergencies, and more.

The training continues with hands-on practical exercises in body positions for exits, emergency situations, and landing techniques. Upon completion of your training, you are ready for your first jump!!
Assisted by a staff member you will put on your parachute harness and will be reviewed on aircraft exit procedures by your jump master. As you let go of the wing of the aircraft and fall away, your parachute deploys and begins the opening process. You are under canopy for about 5 minutes. You steer and land the canopy by yourself with radio assistance.
The Regular (non-Dropout) Price is $189
The Dropouts price is $134
Tandem
A tandem skydive is one-on-one with an experienced instructor. Both the student and the instructor are in a parachute rig designed for two.
You will both exit the aircraft and freefall together for over one mile!
You will begin your day with a primary ground school in which you will learn the basics of parachutes and will familiarize yourself with the sport. This primary ground school will give you the understanding and extra confidence to make the leap!

This primary ground school will give you the understanding and extra confidence to make the leap! With a Tandem Skydive, the student is with an experienced & certified Tandem Instructor. You and the tandem instructor will exit the airplane together and fall for about 1 minute. Either you or the instructor will pull the ripcord to open the parachute. You will both guide the canopy to a soft, on target landing.
Training for a Tandem jump takes approximately 1 hour, but plan on spending at least half the day at the airport. You must be at least 18 years of age and MUST weigh less than 225 pounds for the tandem skydive.
