Canopies for kids is an ongoing project with the mission of providing children in hospitals with the support, courage, and hope they need; by enabling skydivers with the opportunity to have their jumps make a difference for kids one canopy at a time. Want to learn more? Check out this video.

Recommended that you hire a packer for the day. (CLASS IS HELD RAIN OR SHINE!)

This course teaches advanced techniques, which enables canopy pilots to get more performance out of their canopies and become safer pilots by learning more about their canopies.
