Skydive Chicago is built on a dedication to the sport of skydiving unseen anywhere else. It is located on 220 acres of private land with amenities like cabins, camping, swimming pond, Tiki Bar, Jump Run Cafe, RV hookups, shower house, disc golf course, Sky Lounge, student training programs (AFP), gear shop, rigging loft and more. It is also the home of several World Records, multiple local and national competitions and the largest skydiving festival of the year. We here at SDC want to encourage everyone to make a first jump, and we only hope it's with us. Our instructors take the time to make your first skydive not just a ride, but hopefully your first of many. Want to pull your own parachute? Want to steer your own canopy? We want you to be as big of a part of your experience as possible. (If you just want the thrill ride, we can do that too) We give real instruction and strive for safety above all else, so if you have any questions just ask!

Competition can be extremely rewarding especially with the fast progression you make alongside your team mates. It can also feel intimidating for newer jumpers.

This event was for skydivers with less than 200 jumps and or 2 years in the sport! You will be mixed with another rookie and all work together to rack up formation points. Rental rigs are available!
