Not at all! This experience is designed specifically for first-time skydivers. You'll jump in tandem with a highly trained, licensed instructor who will guide you through every step—from the ground briefing to a safe landing. No previous experience is required—just a willingness to step outside your comfort zone.

You're not alone—and that's exactly why Jump & Thrive™ exists.

Almost everyone arrives with some level of fear or uncertainty. The coaching portion of the experience is designed to help you understand your fear, work through it, and develop the mindset to move forward despite it.

Remember, courage isn't the absence of fear—it's choosing to act in spite of it.

Most healthy adults can participate in tandem skydiving, but there are safety requirements established by the skydiving center, including age, weight, and certain medical considerations.

After registering, you'll receive detailed eligibility information. If you have questions about a medical condition, we encourage you to contact us before registering so we can help determine whether this experience is right for you.

Your safety always comes first.

If weather conditions are not suitable for skydiving, the jump will be rescheduled to the next available date determined by the drop zone.

Your coaching experience and registration will automatically transfer to the rescheduled event at no additional cost.

This experience is about personal growth, not pressure.

While we hope you'll experience the breakthrough that comes from taking the leap, the decision is always yours.

You'll still participate in the coaching sessions and leave with valuable insights and an action plan. If you choose not to skydive after arriving, please note that the skydiving portion of your registration is non-refundable due to the reserved booking with the drop zone.

Many participants discover that the coaching and support throughout the day help them find the courage they didn't think they had.

Absolutely!

Family and friends are welcome to come cheer you on and celebrate your accomplishment. Watching someone take such a courageous step is inspiring in itself.

While only registered participants may take part in the coaching sessions and tandem skydive, guests are welcome in designated spectator areas at the drop zone. Specific visitor guidelines will be shared before the event.

Most participants choose to capture this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Professional photo and video packages are typically available through the skydiving center for an additional fee and may be purchased directly with the drop zone.

Because transformation doesn't happen by simply talking about courage—it happens by experiencing it.

The skydive becomes a powerful metaphor and lived experience that reinforces the coaching. When you step beyond one of life's biggest fears, you often discover that the challenges waiting back on the ground suddenly feel much more manageable.

Our goal isn't simply to help you jump from an airplane.

Our goal is to help you leave with greater confidence, clarity, and momentum for the next chapter of your life.

Then you're exactly the kind of person this experience was created for.

Nearly everyone who chooses to skydive has moments of doubt. Courage isn't something you're born with—it's something you build, one decision at a time.

Jump & Thrive™ isn't about proving you're fearless. It's about discovering that fear doesn't have to make your decisions for you anymore.

Throughout the day, you'll be supported by professional skydiving instructors and guided through transformational coaching that helps you shift your mindset before you ever board the airplane.

Many participants arrive saying, "I don't know if I can do this."

They leave saying, "If I can do that... what else am I capable of?"

That's the real transformation.

Absolutely.

While Jump & Thrive™ is designed as a transformational experience for individuals, it can also be customized as a private experience for leadership teams, departments, boards, and organizations.

Unlike traditional team-building events, Jump & Thrive™ creates a shared breakthrough. When leaders face uncertainty together, trust deepens, communication strengthens, and barriers begin to disappear while both cohesion and bonding enhance.

Whether you're leading a business, nonprofit, healthcare organization, educational institution, or community team, this experience fosters conversations, connections, and lasting bonds that simply don't happen in a conference room.

If you're interested in creating a customized experience for your organization, we'd love to explore how Jump & Thrive™ can support your team's goals.

The Jump & Thrive™ experience will be held at Skydive Central New York in Weedsport, New York, approximately 45 minutes west of Syracuse and about one hour from Utica.

The day includes both the coaching sessions and your tandem skydive at the same location, making it a seamless and immersive experience from start to finish.

The exact event schedule, arrival instructions, parking information, and preparation guide will be emailed to all registered participants approximately two weeks before the event.
