Skydiving!

It has been said that deliberately stepping out of a perfectly good plane while it is thousands of feet in the air is insanity. We beg to differ. Who wouldn’t want to plummet through the air at speeds up to 200 mph?

While waiting your turn on the ground, join others in a rousing game of volleyball, basketball, frisbee, or dodgeball! After our adrenaline-fueled day, we will stop at a local pub for drinks and grub while swapping stories about your skydiving experience.

THE JUMP

Learn the essentials before anything else with a safety and orientation video, and instruction on the proper positions you will take when in the air and when landing.

Work one-on-one with your instructor getting suited up and practicing the maneuvers that you just learned until you are comfortable.

Divided into groups, each person will be secured to a certified skydiving instructor for the jump. Those feeling even more adventurous will have the option to attempt various maneuvers, including back-flips and summersaults in the air.

Experienced, Fun & Qualified Guides

From cycling across the United States to leading horse treks through New Zealand to scaling Nepalese peaks, Outdoor Bound guides have real-world outdoor experience. Collectively, they have hiked, biked, climbed and kayaked tens of thousands of miles around the globe.

Whether their professional backgrounds are as teachers, personal trainers, artists, environmentalists or business leaders, they all have an extensive knowledge of the natural world and local history. Each guide has also passed a rigorous guide certification program and is trained in wilderness first aid or as a Wilderness First Responder.

Diverse & Interesting Groups

There is no typical Outdoor Bound participant. While ages typically range from 20 to 50, those who come to experience outdoor adventure range from singles to couples, from lawyers to waiters. They are a mix of women and men. While the group is always diverse, you will certainly feel welcome. Our guides go the extra mile to make the atmosphere of each trip social and fun. Many people in the Outdoor Bound community have forged lasting friendships as a result of our trips.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
