I had such a great time learning to skydive here. the instructors really love the sport and just want to help you learn to be a skydiver. The weather is beautiful in the summer and the drop zone is in a nice, calm area

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I took initial training and became licensed at IVPC. The DZ is full of great people who absolutely love jumping and sharing a wealth of skydiving knowledge. This was the most inexpensive place I've seen - they love skydiving and bringing new people into the sport.

Cons: none

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

At IVPC they really make you feel at home and that they want you to have a fun experience. Their is no sky god cliques here. Because they are a club not a business they don't have as many or great of aircraft as some DZ's, but the environment makes up for it any day. If you live in central IL. and you want to experience skydiving the way it was meant to be, check this place out.

Did my first jump here. Loved it. Great place. Been back 9 more times. Can't wait for warm weather to start jumping again. How about 40-50 degrees. Last jump was 40 degrees,they are always ready to jump. Weather permitting. Great bunch of jumpers!

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I took my first static line skydive at IVPC on July 15,2006. I was concerned with what the training would consist of, but the staff was wonderful and friendly, and the training very useful, with an emphasis on saftey the entire time. They made us students feel like a part of the "family" even though it was our first time. I had a great overall experience and I highly recommend this location for anyone considering their first jump.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I have looked into all of the jump programs around the chicagoland area and made numerous calls to each. I chose IVPC for myself and my buddy and was extremely pleased. I would be remiss if I did not mention the high level of safety and concern for student's welfare that I saw while there. These guys have my highest recommendations!
