Can you believe it, it’s been 60 years since the first skydive happened at Skylark Airport? Our name has gone through some changes but in the end, we call Skydive Elsinore home.
Home is where we celebrated mile-stones and share in each others joys.
This November 10, 2018, we want to celebrate the joys, and what better way than to bring family together. Family from all generations, and from all corners of the county. We here at Skydive Elsinore want to celebrate you, and what you brought to our life’s and history of making Skydive Elsinore what it is today.
To move forward on this event, we invite you to not only attend our celebration, we ask you to be a part of it by providing memories via stories, pictures, or treasured items, like logbooks, patches, videos and skydiving equipment.
So, start digging through those closets, blow the dust off those old picture frames, and bring them out to the DZ where we can sit around and eat, drink, and share our stories.
If you have questions, contact Mary at events@skydiveelsinore.com

Weather permitting, each course is at least 5 jumps, however, we will continue jumping until sunset if desired.

Wingsuit course with Chase Mccook 30.11 – 2.12
This is a camp for beginner/intermediate wingsuit pilots with intentions on building skills in basic formation and dynamic flying.
Getting multiple wingsuit groups in the plane and proper exit procedures off jump run to ensure safe flights for both groups.
Also plan on building larger formations with all pilots and working with the more experienced flyers with backflying and moving about the formations during the flight.
The main goal of the camp is to have everyone leave the weekend feeling like they improved on some aspect in their wingsuit piloting skills and to also feel more safe and be able to plan and execute fun and safe wingsuit flock formations.
The camp is set for Thanksgiving weekend if there is enough interest and a better weekend in November would work I can be flexible, please leave feedback in the discussion, I’m excited to put this event together and hope to see positive feedback from everyone interested.
Camp costs will be $35 for the weekend payable to chasemccok@ymail.com via PayPal. If you have any questions please feel free to shoot me a message.

Spaceland Transitions: All About Canopies, All Weekend! 3.11 – 4.11
Skydive Spaceland all locations: Atlanta, Clewiston, Houston, Dallas
Are you ready for the Spaceland Transitions event that’s focused on canopies rather than freefall? I hope so, because it’s going to be AWESOME! As always, this event is free and focused for skydivers with 100 jumps or less. Jumpers visiting from other drop zones are more than welcome. Check out the major features:
1) FREE CANOPY COACHING: The Ratings Center is offering short canopy control seminars to kick off each weekend morning as well as free, personalized, video-assisted instruction for as many new jumpers as he can throughout the day. These awesome coaches will also provide seminars on various canopy topics during any weather holds, so plan to be here regardless of the forecast, because I guarantee you will learn a ton whether you’re jumping or not.
2) SPORT ACCURACY COMPETITION: Let’s test out these new canopy skills in an informal sport accuracy competition across all Spaceland locations! More details to follow!
Sport Accuracy Competition 3.11 – 5.11
Get ready to test out your landing accuracy skills in Spaceland’s fun Sport Accuracy meet! This event is for jumpers of all experience levels across ALL Spaceland drop zones, and it comes with free canopy coaching! The Ratings Center, who holds all of our canopy courses, is graciously donating their time at the target to video EVERY competitor’s landing for coaching and debriefing. Thank you, TRC!
We plan to start the competition Saturday at around 2 pm (giving you some time for practice jumps!). We’ll divide the competitors into three classes as follows:
* Novice: 100 jumps or less before the competition starts
* Intermediate: 101-350 jumps
* Advanced: 351+ jumps
There is NO ENTRY FEE for this meet! Jumps will be done from roughly 5,500 feet and they will be $25 each instead of the regular hop and pop rate (not including gear rental) because of the extra time the plane will spend flying multiple hop and pop passes.
PRIZES:
* Overall winner across all locations: 1 DAY OF FREE JUMPS at the location of your choice! (gear rental/specialty jumps not included).
Per location prizes:
