What did you do last weekend? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXrcvAciME0

Purdue Sport Parachute Club is the rescource to getting boilermakers, their friends, and their families exposed to the sport of skydiving and parachuting. As an organization of Purdue, the students of the Sport Parachute Club are committed to safety through knowledge. Our mission is to add to the skydiving community through knowledge and safety- and to have FUN!

We jump at Illinois Skydiving Center in Rantoul, IL.  It is about 20 min. from University of Illinois in Urbana. Their website is at http://www.illinoisskydivingcenter.com/ .

PLEASE NOTE: The prices on their website might not reflect the actual prices you will have to pay. We try to work out deals with the dropzone owner Jeff.  We can sometimes work out deals for large groups of jumpers.

Club dues are $5 and T-shirts are $10.

BEFORE you join, you must fill out our 2 sided wavier and get it to us. In order to jump you must contact the Dropzone above and schedule your skydive. Then talk to Mitch or Chris and we will try to work out getting you out there. We try to go out there as often as we can on the weekends.

If you have any questions, first see our documents section and read through 'Frequently asked questions.pdf' and 'How to get started with the club.pdf' or feel free to contact us.
