Skydive Northstar

I did a refresher course out at Waseca after being out of the sport for seven years and was pleased with the level of care. The guys (and gals) who run the operation are there because they love to jump and just want to have more buds to jump with. I've been out there a few times since and have always had a good time with great jumps.

This small and personal club does their best to get everyone involved regardless of their experience level. The gear is quite new and very well maintained.

A relaxed and senic climb to altitude reveals many beautiful lakes and great places to spend some time without jumping.

This drop zone doesn't have the cliques and skygods that too many have. One always feels welcome and will be quickly invited to join the group.

This is a great place to start skydiving. I recently did the static line program here and felt very comfortable with the instruction and safety. I must say that I was impressed at how helpful everyone was in getting us going. If we had questions, I did not feel intimated asking anyone there. Everyone was very helpful in getting us through this. Now we are on to freefall status and I am looking forward to continuing my skydiving career.

I am deadly afraid of heights, but have always wanted to try skydiving. My husband told me he was going to go, and I wanted to go. I went, and I am so glad I did. The instructors were very helpful. They did not treat you like an idiot or look at you funny for asking questions. When I got ready to go, I felt very comfortable to do it on my own(did the static line program) with very little nervousness thanks to the instructors.
