Build a solid foundation for vertical big-way flying at this head down skills camp at Skydive Elsinore, led by Jesse Jaber and Chris Dare. These coaches bring decades of combined experience, including participation in head down and sequential world records. Chris has served as a sector captain on a vertical world record, and both were part of Team USA’s gold-winning lineup in Indoor Dynamic Vertical Sequential 8-Way at the World Championships. They also run the Barnstorm Sequential Event, where groups of experienced flyers tackle complex dive flows. Designed for intermediate to advanced vertical flyers, the camp focuses on the fundamentals that lead to larger formations and higher level events. Expect coaching on the spine and ribs technique, a deeper understanding of big-way architecture, and what it takes to be considered for record attempts. It is a fit for those new to big ways, those getting current, and anyone looking to sharpen technique. Participants should be able to maintain a controlled, static head down for the entire skydive, approach safely and take dependable docks, fly comfortably in groups of at least twelve, and execute a safe breakoff by turning 180 degrees from the center and tracking away. Flyers who do not yet meet these benchmarks can look to Vertical HD or HU skill camps focused on smaller groups, and separate one-on-one or one-on-two coaching is also available for beginners. This is a one day program at Skydive Elsinore. Plan for five jumps if weather cooperates. The event requires a minimum of seven participants plus a coach to proceed. Expect 60 minute calls to allow time to pack, review video, and brief the next jump. The day opens with a 30 minute seminar on big-way fundamentals and safety. You may rotate through base and other slots during the day. Registration is 100 dollars and does not include jump tickets. Ticket prices depend on exit altitude, with a goal of going higher than usual without oxygen if approved by the drop zone. Applicants who are accepted will receive payment instructions by email.

This one day, small group vertical skill camp at Skydive Elsinore focuses on head down flying for beginner and intermediate freeflyers who want to progress their vertical and dynamic skills. It is suited to those working on steep angles, moving through the vertical, and transitioning between head up and head down. Beginner groups concentrate on the fundamentals of vertical formation flying, including maintaining level, understanding slot and docking, exploring different head down exits, managing both slow and fast fall rates, making clean approaches with simple touch targets, and executing safe breakoffs. Intermediate groups refine diving and floating exits, practice 360 degree turns and carving, work on docking or breaking into formations, and fly VFS and sequential style dive plans. Minimum requirements include at least 150 skydives, the ability to hold a stable head down for the entire skydive, staying on level within roughly 15 feet of the base without unnecessary movement, flying safely in a group of four with a coach, and breaking off by turning 180 degrees from the center and tracking away. If these benchmarks are not yet met, private one on one coaching can be arranged separately to build solid habits. The format calls for a commitment to six jumps, weather permitting. Groups are limited to three participants plus a coach. The day starts with a 30 minute safety briefing before jumping begins, and loads are planned on approximately 40 minute cycles to allow time to pack, review video, and brief the next skydive. Registration is $225 and does not include jump tickets. Applicants who are accepted will receive payment instructions by email. Separate intro to big way and intro to sequential options are available for more advanced vertical flyers, each with its own requirements.

Skydive Elsinore hosts a vertical sequential skills camp focused on eight-way flying led by Jesse Jaber and Chris Dare. It is designed for intermediate to advanced vertical flyers seeking an introduction to sequential flying or looking to take part in more complex builds. Dive plans are created around the group’s abilities, with positions assigned in HU or HD, and there may be mixed orientation and dynamic elements. The coaching team brings extensive credentials in the discipline. Both have contributed to current HD and Sequential world records, with Chris serving as a sector captain on the Vertical World Record. Jesse captained Team USA to gold in Indoor Dynamic Vertical Sequential eight-way at the World Championships, and Chris also competed on that gold-winning team. Together they run the Barnstorm Sequential Event, working with experienced flyers on intricate dive flows. Participants must meet specific prerequisites. Flyers should be able to maintain a stable HD for the entire skydive, approach safely and take multiple docks reliably, and break off cleanly from the center of the formation. Those not yet at this level can look to dedicated HD or HU skills camps that same weekend, and separate one-on-one or one-on-two coaching can be arranged outside this camp. The format is a single day at Skydive Elsinore with a commitment to five jumps, weather permitting. Groups run with a minimum of five participants plus a coach for the camp to proceed. Expect 60-minute turnarounds to allow time to pack, review video, and brief the next jump. You may be asked to start in the base and will rotate through positions. Registration costs 140 dollars and does not include jump tickets. Ticket pricing depends on altitude, with a goal of flying higher than usual without oxygen when the drop zone allows. Applicants who are accepted receive payment instructions by email.

Spend a focused day at Skydive Elsinore building confident head up flying in small groups designed for beginner and intermediate freeflyers. The program supports flyers who want to advance vertical skills for dynamic flying, work on HU tracking, or move from head down angles to stable HU flight. Beginners concentrate on the essentials of vertical formation work, including understanding level, slot and docks, multiple head up exit techniques, managing slow and fast fall rates, simple high-five contacts, and safe approaches and breakoffs. Intermediate participants refine diving and floating exits, 360-degree turns, carving, docking or breaking in, and VFS-inspired sequential dive flows. To take part, flyers need a minimum of 150 skydives, must hold a steady HU throughout the skydive, stay within about 15 feet of the base without excessive movement, fly safely in a four-way with a coach, and execute a controlled breakoff to the back followed by an effective track away from the center. Those not yet at this level are directed toward one-on-one or small-pair coaching to build strong fundamentals. The camp runs in a one-day format with a commitment to six jumps, weather permitting. Groups are three participants plus a coach, with 40-minute calls to allow packing time, video review, and a brief for the next jump. The day begins with a 30-minute safety briefing before jumping starts. Separate intro-to-big-way and intro-to-sequential options are available the same weekend for more advanced vertical flyers, each with its own requirements. Registration is $225 and does not include jump tickets. Applications are reviewed, and accepted flyers receive payment instructions by email.

Explore the Jewish story at the heart of multicultural Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles through a guided walking tour that traces the neighborhood’s immigrant, working class roots. Once the largest Jewish community west of Chicago, the area’s main artery was Brooklyn Avenue, now known as Avenida Cesar Chavez, and the route reveals how daily life and community institutions took shape here. The tour begins outside the Breed Street Shul, a landmark synagogue that anchored local religious life, with context about nearby early Jewish educational sites. Participants then learn about the original location of Canter’s Deli and other beloved bakeries and delicatessens where pickle and herring barrels once drew in passersby, along with other former Jewish businesses and institutions that later relocated elsewhere in the city. The route also highlights the Old Mount Sinai Clinic and the early eastside hospitals that would evolve into today’s Cedar-Sinai Medical Center, the former Monte Carlo Russian Turkish Baths, and key sites of Jewish labor and socialist organizing, including the Jewish Labor Committee, Workmen’s Circle, the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, and local anarchist and communist headquarters. The founding location of the Community Service Organization is featured to show how Jewish and Mexican progressives built a multiracial coalition that helped cultivate the first generation of Mexican American political and civil rights leadership. The group will not enter the Breed Street Shul and will focus on the surrounding neighborhood. Along the way, the discussion reflects on how a diverse immigrant community came together in the first half of the 20th century, the social challenges residents confronted, the movements they launched, and the forces of displacement that reshaped the area, all to understand this heritage and the issues the community continues to face. This introductory experience is designed for all ages. There are no refunds or future credits for those who miss the event.
