GROUP TIPS

WE CAN HANDLE YOUR GROUP!

We have the facilities, the instructors, the parachute packers,
the equipment, the experience, the expertise!
We have had 80+ students train and jump the same day!

 

  1. Print off the poster and the group organizer form from this website. Photocopy them on colored paper, post them in appropriate places, and remember where they are! Call people A.S.A.P so they don't lose the momentum.

    2.  
  2. Decide what your policies are going to be regarding:
     
    Scheduling: Picking a date. It's hard to please everyone, so make sure that it's the best date for the ones who are doing all the work. That way if the group doesn't work out, it's still good for you.
     
    Money: COLLECT DEPOSITS!!!
    Decide how much will be non-refundable and by what date it must be in. The non-refundable part should at least cover the expense of the lost discount if they don't show.
    WHY? Although we do not require them, it is a good idea to collect some kind of deposit from the people who say they want to come skydiving with you. You will find that skydiving is something people love to talk about doing - and then the day arrives and they find other important things to do - like washing their hair or their car. Have them put their money up front, then you'll find out who is really serious and who is just talking through their hat. This is important for you and those in your group who are committed to your adventure so that you know what your discount will actually be. We often see people arrive expecting a group of 12 but only 4 show up-those 4 don't get the discount they were expecting and it becomes a drag for everyone.

  3. Make it an event.
    For those who want to party afterwards, plan a camp out at the DZ..It's free camping for members, you don't have to rush back to town to meet a schedule, you won't have to worry about drinking and driving, and we have party facilities (party room, pool table, arcade games, fire pits).

  4. Talk, talk, talk about it.

  6. Call and let us know you are coming. No reservations are needed but it is always nice to know when we have a group coming. Even if you call on a Wednesday and say "by the way I am bringing 20 people this Saturday" we will never turn you away but we will make extra preparations to make sure we are ready for you.
