FurtheranZe FS camp 11.08 – 12.08. 2018
This will be the next camp in the ongoing series of FurtheranZe Formation Skydiving Skills camps. There are still slots left. You can reserve a slot at this camp up until noon of the Thursday prior by following this link:https://
Prerequisites to attend a camp are 200 freefall jumps, 100 of which are formation skydives.
FurtheranZe camps are an excellent way to meet other skydivers who are interested in achieving more during their skydives.
They require less commitment than a traditional skydiving team, but may help you meet people you could form a team with. FurtheranZe camps are NOT a substitute for basic flight coaching. They are a way to further develop your formation skydiving skills in a structured environment.

Gathering a blend of craft beer fans and aviation enthusiasts in an airplane hangar, Hops in the Hangar will be an EPIC event here in the tri-state area.
Beer has never looked so cool as being served in a huge, operating airport hangar- talk about unique ambiance! Hops in the Hangar will feature a wide selection of beer from breweries big and small and showcase a variety of aircraft. The professional skydivers jumping overhead will create an experience few will forget. The evening will be packed with beers, planes, food trucks, music and more.
NOW IS THE TIME TO JUMP ON BOARD!
Join us in tasting samples of amazing, unique craft beers- you choose 15 to sample from dozens of breweries that are on site. Food trucks available for purchase. Airplanes will be available on site for tour and awesome photo ops. Be prepared to see skydivers jumping overhead (weather permitting) and, if Mother Earth cooperates, one of the most incredible sunsets you’ve seen. Beers, bites, music and fun- all in a unique, roomy setting. The unique environment allows for us to enjoy the outdoors with the hangar doors being open but providing cover for shade and weather. This event is rain or shine….but has a 100% chance of beer.
VIP TICKETS: allow you to enter the event an hour early to get first dibs on the beer choices, including some “VIP only” offerings that select breweries may bring. Enjoy 2 extra drink tickets as well.
DESIGNATED DRIVER TICKETS: include non-alcoholic drink tokens as well as food credits at the food trucks. Special additional perks available only for our DD friends as well!
Now is the time to JUMP ONBOARD!
