Why Groups Love Skydiving at Wisconsin Skydiving Center
Why Skydive
Posted by: Wisconsin Skydiving Center 4 months ago
Wisconsin Skydiving Center specializes in turning simple, shared moments into unforgettable experiences! When it comes to our group skydiving packages, we’re not just offering a jump from a plane (although that is plenty exciting); we’re crafting an adrenaline-pumping celebration! Whether you’re taking the leap to celebrate a milestone, a corporate team-building exercise, or a fun day with friends, we’re committed to making every detail exceptional.
Let’s dive into the magic of why so many groups have chosen to spend the day with us over the last few decades, and why they come back to jump at WSC time and time again.
We Have An Unmatched Culture
There’s a reason Wisconsin Skydiving Center is known for hosting the best skydiving group gatherings: our culture. The skydiving community has a world-wide reputation for being compassionate and super inviting, and at WSC, we strive to make each person who walks through our doors feel welcome and cared for. At Wisconsin Skydiving Center, we consider ourselves to be a customer service company that happens to offer A+ skydiving. Your time with us should be one of the best days of your life!
Our owners – Bo and Alex – have a deep understanding of the magic of skydiving and are genuinely enthusiastic about sharing the gift of human flight with others.
“No matter what you do in life, everything boils down to people,” Bo explains, smiling. “And people are our specialty here. Over the years, we realized three things: 1) That people love doing things together, especially stuff that’s scary and challenging and they need each other’s support; 2) That doing that kind of thing makes the group – and the people – stronger; and 3) Everything is better with food and a cold brew in your hand – after jumping, of course. So we started encouraging people to do just that.”
After jumping, we gather to share stories, enjoy food, and relax. Whether you’re a seasoned jumper, a tandem student who rocked their very first skydive, or even a friend who watched from the ground, everyone is welcome to join in the camaraderie – it’s all part of the skydiving experience!
It’s An Open Invite
Can friends watch you skydive? ABSOLUTELY, we hope they do! Having a support system on standby for your first jump only adds to the experience. And, they’re welcome to join you for the short ground school and briefing prior to the skydive! This open concept encourages apprehensive people to be introduced to the sport in a no-pressure scenario.
“During that training, we take them deep into the territory of why we jump out of airplanes,” Bo explains. “We lead them into the psychology of skydiving. We talk all about fear management and conquering your fear rather than denying it. The goal is to make the ground school experience awesome, fun and inspirational – just good energy that puts the whole skydive into a different perspective. We really go into the meaning of the otherwise senseless act of jumping out of the airplane. This is very unique to us at WSC.”
Psst! If our approach to confronting fear appeals to you, check out our Rise Above program. It’s a workshop and guided skydiving experience that’s exclusive to Wisconsin Skydiving Center that helps people transform fear from a foe to a friend. It’s incredible …
How many people can skydive together? Although you can’t freefall next to your friends (until you’re a licensed skydiver), you can be together before and after the jump and you may even be able to ride in the plane with them!
We can accommodate skydiving groups of all sizes, and we have skydiving group deals to match! If you’re reserving 20 or more jump slots, the group organizer jumps for free! (Told ya we love hosting groups!!)
It’s Downright Special
Skydiving, particularly for the first time, can be a deeply emotional and special experience. At WSC, we understand how unique a first jump is and make it our mission to enhance it. The thrill of the jump combined with shared excitement helps to forge unbreakable bonds. We think Bo says it the best:
“What we do here is not just ‘group skydiving. We offer a fantastic bonding experience on every level. I don’t care who you are – a skydive gets your attention, and sharing that brings you closer as human beings. That intimacy that we all crave, we find in skydiving. It breaks down all these barriers that we have built for whatever reason, and releases the floodgate of emotions and closeness so that togetherness can open up. It’s truly amazing. I believe that there are two things of true value in life: people and experiences. We offer both.”
Who Is Group Skydiving For?
Anyone and everyone!
Perhaps you aren’t able to book a jump because you have a little one on the way (squeee!). We would still love to have you, which is why we curated a gender reveal skydiving package. Missing out on the dropzone vibes just because you’re expecting? Not on our watch.
Family reunions? Sure! We have families come back to us every time they get together to commemorate their bond.
Are you the president of a club at your college? Did you just move into your dorm and want to organize a hall skydive to get to know everyone? We regularly work with colleges and university groups to plan group skydives!
Or perhaps you want to raise money for an organization you’re passionate about – charity skydives are our jam!
Maybe the office has been a bit tense lately and a trip to the dropzone could do everyone some good. Team bonding, anyone?
Perhaps you don’t want to skydive at all, but want to see what the sport is all about – come on out! Whatever type of group you have, reach out to us with your idea and we’ll help with the logistics.
We specialize in making group skydives seamless and spectacular, and we can’t wait for you to make lifelong memories with us! Book your group skydive today! Blue skies.
