Heli Camp

11 – 17 August 2024

Some prices and details are still being finalised. After you sign up, you still have a week to pay your deposit so you can wait until the final details are out before confirming your slot. We have the option to run a second week from August 18 – 23 but we will fill up slots for August 11 – 17 first.

IN SHORT
Push your skills in a week of dedicated coaching in a small group. This is an authentic skills camp, focused on personal progress. Wether you need to work on your basic sitfly skills or want to fly advanced dynamic lines, we have it all. At Heli Camp we do group jumps only, no 1-on-1 coaching. 

This camp has two unique features:
– All jumps are made from the tailgate of an MI-8 helicopter with an incredible view over the turquoise Balaton lake.
– Accommodation at the dropzone and three meals a day comes included in the price.

The setup
The participant to coach ratio is 5:1 on average and every group has minimum 4 and maximum 6 participants and one coach. Your commitment is expected, that means: get up in the morning and join all the group jumps. You will be put in a group based on your experience and every group has a dedicated coach that works hard to push your personal level as far as possible, while focusing on safety and teamwork at the same time. You get to fly with several different coaches throughout the week. We aim for 6 group jumps per day. With perfect weather we can do 30 group jumps in 5 days. These extra jumps are optional and can be bought on site.

Jumping days are Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday are travel days.

Can I join?
There is no minimum jumps or licence requirement, but a minimum skill level requirement. You need to be safe in head-up in a group of four. That means that you need to be able to hold a sitfly position for a whole jump, go faster and slower, and start your break off by first transitioning to the back to check your airspace. AND you have to be able to stay in your quadrant in an easy track or angle jump. That means that you need basic heading control.
If you are unsure about your skill level, ask a professional freefly coach or send us an email. We don’t offer 1-on-1 coaching at Heli Camp, so if you want to learn something new, like flying head up or head down, consider signing up for our PARADISE skills camp in stead.
