Here's the 411...
The trip will be the weekend of July 25, 26, 27, 2008.
Friday night, we'll all head up at our own convenience, set up camp, and meet up in front of the bonfire at 9pm to enjoy the night, meet fellow divers, and hang out with friends.
Saturday begins with a 30-minute ground school where you meet staff members, view instructional videotapes, and get a general overview of your jump. You will learn how to exit the aircraft, freefall techniques, and body position during landing.
Tandem jumping uses the dual instruction approach similar to learning how to fly an airplane, and your tandem instructor will be there to back you up through all phases of your skydive.
The plane ride lasts about 15-20 minutes and the views from the dropzone are incredible. The ocean views of the majestic New England coastline and breathtaking mountains will surely enhance your experience.
Tandem jumping is such an incredible experience! You will get the high-speed thrill of freefall, followed by the serenity and beauty of the parachute ride. Once you are back on earth, you will receive a first jump certificate and all the necessary information on how to become a licensed skydiver. Whether you are planning to become a skydiver or just want to experience the thrill of skydiving, this is a great introduction into the exciting world of freefall skydiving!!!
-
Wear comfy clothing and a good pair of sneakers.

We supply all the equipment needed. We have the most up-to-date tandem and student equipment available in the world today. The instructors will give you personalized skydiving instruction using the most modern training techniques available. All skydiving instructors and parachute riggers are certified by the United States Parachute Association and the FAA, and average over 7,000 jumps each.
-
You will jump from about 14,000ft and the free-fall lasts for over a minute. You will reach speeds of up to 120 mph.

Your parachute is rectangular in shape, similar to the wing of an airplane, and is completely controllable. Canopy rides last about 5-9 minutes, depending on how fast you like to fly your parachute.

Take Exit 16 and stay right towards Rt. 202 east East Rochester NH. / Sanford ME. Stay on Rt. 202 east. You will come to a 4-way stop with a blinking red light (Cumberland Farms on right). Go straight through this stop and at the next traffic light take a left onto West Lebanon Rd. After 1/2 mile take the first right (Upper- Guinea Road). Drive 1 mile, you will see a large Skydive sign at the entrance to Skydive Lane on the left.
WAIT!! My friends want to come, but they are being wimps and don't want to feel the rush of skydiving!
Can they still come to camp, party, and eat at the BBQ?
SURE!
We have a camping only option available for only $40 to those who want to come for the party weekend, but are too afraid to jump. This covers the camping, the parties, the BBQ, and the games.
