- **Event Name**: Advanced Skills Camp 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Are you looking for the next step to increase your big way skills? Is one of your goals to get invited to invitational events, or records, and need experience in those “next level” big way skills? Well, this is your answer!! The event will be geared to give participants the opportunity to gain experience in various exit slots and build "non-standard" formations. Jumps will be structured to focus on building individual skills specific to larger formation sizes usually seen in records or invitationals. Sight pictures for exit from a left trail aircraft, long dives and formations built on various base sizes and shapes will be focused on as well as build processes and communication in freefall.

The event will start with a day of 20 ways focusing on Otter exit times and proper technique for side door aircraft efficiency. Exit altitude will be 13500' on Thursday and then 17,000 ft for the rest of the event giving the participants the opportunity to use supplemental oxygen on jumps in a controlled environment. Everything you can think of will be covered! Every jump will be extensively prepped and debriefed with the best video in the business brought to you by Byrd’s Eye studio.

The preparation of the jump will focus on the technique needed to properly execute the specific goals of each jump. Debriefs will be in a structured environment with a focus on the goal of the jump, and individuals will be given feedback to improve the skill they are working on. Each jump will be repeated to facilitate improvements on each skill set. Each day participants will make up to 5 jumps with ample time between jumps to fully prep and debrief each jump. By the end of the event, every participant will have gained a stronger understanding of big way FS and have gobs of fun!

Registration includes all organization and prep, oxygen and cannulas during jumps, your organizer and video jumps and costs, an event T shirt (must submit application by 3/16/26 to guarantee shirt and correct size) and event dinner on Saturday night! You will have access to all videos and social media quality photos. Full resolution/high quality photos will be available for purchase from Byrd’s Eye Studios after the event.
