At Skydive City, Team Horizon presents a three-day Shift to Fluency dynamic camp for intermediate and advanced flyers looking to sharpen angle and dynamic skills in a larger group environment. Groups are set at five participants plus a coach, with the same participants staying together across the camp when the fit is right, while coaches rotate daily to expand learning opportunities. Plan for up to six jumps each day, weather permitting, with outside video on the jumps and edited camp footage. Built-in 40 minute calls provide time to pack, review video, and brief the next skydive. Minimum experience for six-way groups includes 300 skydives, 100 tracking jumps, safe group flying in a six-way, the ability to hold heading and consistent speed within about 15 feet of the leader on both belly and back, and active work on transitioning through the vertical in a six-way after already achieving it in smaller groups. Applicants who do not meet these benchmarks may still be placed in smaller groups of four to five including the coach, which increases costs; the estimate for that option is a $600 registration fee. Registration for participants who meet the minimum requirements is $520 for the three days. Beginner group applicants are $620. Registration does not include jump tickets. Registration is nonrefundable unless a suitable replacement is found, with a $100 administrative fee retained, and participants must commit to six jumps per day.
