I just got my A-License this past Fourth of July weekend! talk about 'murica! I opted for the A-in a week option. I visited once before but got weathered out during my stay. That is of course no fault to the facility. If not for that bad weather, I would have been able to knock out all of my training that first time. I mention this because James Englund, my instructor, was always ready to get on a load and get me through whatever I needed. Absolutely motivated and never grew tired of me. The included video that they film during all of your jumps are extremely helpful to show actual points during the jump for improvement. Way better than making you recall on your own what happened. Jumping back to back is also amazing for hard learners like me. Keeping the experiences fresh and moving through the dive flows is what helped me progress, so I encourage others to opt for this route if possible. During the down time and at night just hanging around is where it all comes together. I met various people from around the WORLD who all had bits and pieces to add for my tool kit in skydiving. The advice they gave me and memories over the campfires will always be with me. Places to set up tents are plentiful. It's called a campsite, so obviously bugs and other what nots will be creeping around. THATS NORMAL! Other than that, very calm and relaxing. I felt as if I was at a retreat. Laundry and Showers are available during the business hours. Both clean so you will be good to go! Toilets and restrooms are also very well maintained. I am very new to this so I do not know how to rate the hanger and aircraft. From what I could tell, turn around for pack jobs were quick and the hanger was always clean. The aircraft was smooth and the pilot is awesome about setting you up for success. I camped out at this drop zone for a total of 10 days spread over two visits. I have seen tandem customers come and go and every single one of them had a blast. Fun jumpers came from all around and all seemed pleased with the dropzone as well. This is an amazing place all around!
