That's how I feel! This idea spawned out of something small, just wanting motivational posters for the classroom.

The team found out about my school and just loved the idea. This is a huge contribution on their part. I'm so happy about how this is turning out. We've been planning it since December. Everyone is very excited.

Thanks for showing your enthusiasm. You're right, this is a great cause and great for the community and the dropzone.

Count me in! I missed the PD Factory team's skill camp down in Florida at the Cross Keys Invasion, now I have a second chance. They are great instructors and its for an equally great cause. Awesome.

See you in May!

oh wow!! not only an awesome opportunity for some canopy skills training, but they're doing it for CHARITY?! makes it even more worthwhile!

I was fortunate enough to participate in the skills camp at the Invasion and was so impressed by those guys. Doesn't surprise me that they are doing this charity event. They are amazing.

I'm all signed up for the 5th. Can't wait!!!

Yay! I am so excited for another opportunity to work with the PD guys. Their canopy skills course was awesome at the invasion and I learned so much. They really do help with individual needs when it comes to improving canopy flying and raising awareness.

And come on, we'll be doing something fantastic for the kids! It really builds a great feeling within the skydiving and outside community when we get together for a good cause and all learn something from it.

Who else is coming?

[Rudderow 2]

Is there still room for more people to register? If so, which day?

Kelly thanks so much for setting this up! The camp was amazing and I recommend it to anyone and everyone who flies a canopy.

What do you do when someone throws a big planet at you?

Thank you Kelly for organizing this event. Get some sleep.

Many props to Shannon, Ian, Jay, JT, and JC for donating their time this weekend. The amount of time you put into the team debriefs was way beyond my expectations.
