If you haven't been to WRS in a few years, you will be surprised. It has gone from a 3 plane 50+ member club that went non-stop from Friday night to Sunday night every weekend to a much smaller, more laid-back operation.
AFF is no longer available, Britt and Cap have retired from the sport.
Tandems and static line are still here.
There is only one plane, but there are only a dozen active members, so getting on a load is actually easier. On several weekends last year, there was only one group jumping, so the pilot was waiting for the jumpers to pack up. Imagine having a plane waiting for the jumpers to get ready!
Because of the much smaller operation, RESERVATIONS ARE A MUST! The DZ is NOT open every weekend, and classes/tandems are not automatically available when it is open.
However, because it is a small operation, two or three jumpers is all it takes to get up. One of the members calls a pilot (there are three of them), and up we go.
Although primarily a weekend operation, weekday evenings during mid summer are great times to jump. Again, a couple members call a pilot, and jump from late afternoon until sunset (9pm in mid-June).

I started skydiving at Shiocton and now I am hooked. The members were very helpful and have treated me like one of them. The small farm town surrounding is great. The whole town loves the skydivers. Its also great because you are in perfect distance to and from Green Bay. For the perfect starting experiences with the best teachers Sky Dive Wolf RIver Shiocton, Wisconsin

Wolf river skydivers is the place to jump in Wisconsin. They have multiple programs ranging from beginner to advanced. The staff if friendly and very knowledgable. They also have facilities to make your day as big of an event as you want. Bon fire pit and picnic areas for all of your friends and family to join you.
And most of all, they have very high-tech equipment and experienced packers that contribute to the outstanding safety record. This is definately a must visit dropzone in Wisconsin.

I really like this dropzone because of the friendly
atmosphere, the professional attitude of the instructors
and the up-to-date equipment used.

Compared to other small DZs I've experienced,
this is the best!
