Come out and let us teach you how to skydive today! We are located in Xenia, Ohio and is within a reasonable driving distance of major cities in Ohio. Situated on a private airport, Skydive Greene County offers world-class training. We didn’t start skydiving but we are Ohio’s oldest skydiving school which opened in 1961!

Tandem Skydiving

Tandem skydiving is required if this is your first time skydiving. After filling out paperwork and watching a short video, you will be ready to make your skydive. Somewhere around 11,500 feet you will be secured to your tandem instructor. The door will open and you exit the plane.

Your freefall with your instructor will last for approximately 40-50 seconds. We can almost guarantee this will be the most exciting minute of your life as you reach the speed of around 120 mph, falling for about two miles back to the earth!

Don’t forget to have a video taken of your skydive to show all those that didn’t think you would jump from an airplane!

Static Line Courses

Once you have made your tandem skydiving, you can move on to our Static Line Program. The Static Line Jump is the traditional way to learn to skydive. We have classes throughout the year. Every student will be led through the entire day by a licensed instructor. Never does the student feel unattended.

Once training is over, students will make their first jump on that very same day! If the weather does not cooperate, you can come back the next day, or we will re-schedule a time to make your skydive.

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that．That’s when I learned about the Light house Project．

I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．

Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application．After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria．Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea．But I was about to find out．

After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．

Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man．The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever．
