Save the Dates! As you may have heard, IPC recently ratified new rules for Vertical Sequential World Records. The new rules open up a realm of possibilities for large sequential records. We now have our eyes set on setting a new head-down sequential record in mid-2020. This is the first of several events leading up to the record that will allow us to practice and experiment with large sequential formations. This is not a bigway camp, it is a sequential camp. It is expected that participants be experienced and comfortable building 40-ways. The goal is to have successful multi-point skydives that will build a foundation we can apply to larger sequential formations in 2020. Organizers: Matt Fry & Melissa Nelson Lowe Contact: matthew.fry23@gmail.com Registrations details TBA.

Whether you’re fine tuning heading control and flying on level or trying to get in for that surf dock, we have a slot for you. This is a full weekend, rain or shine- camp. (We will have make up days in July and September should flying be stunted by weather. Day 1: Early arrival to knock out the seminar and all of the necessary ground work.
