All Pennsylvania skydiving activities are weather permitting.
On the day of your scheduled jump call 1-888-654-PLAY, identify yourself and what type of jump that you intend to do, and we will let you know if the weather is currently good enough for that type of skydiving.

All celebrations are held at the end of the day, so as not to interfere with normal skydiving activities.
