Why Skydiving Is Great for Corporate Groups

Friday, January 31, 2025

Looking for a team-building activity that will leave your coworkers buzzing for months? Forget boring seminars and take your “trust fall” activities to the next level with an actual freefall from 13,500 feet.

Skydiving is the ultimate corporate adventure that not only promises unforgettable memories but also strengthens bonds and boosts team morale. Let us show you why!

How Many People Can Skydive Together?

When it comes to group skydiving, the sky really is the limit! While each plane has a specific capacity, most skydiving centers can accommodate groups of all sizes by carefully coordinating multiple flights and airplane loads.

At Skydive Orange, we pride ourselves on creating seamless experiences for groups large and small. Whether you’re planning an outing for five people or 55, we’ll work with you to ensure everyone has their moment in the sky. 

With our fast-flying Twin Otter, we can accommodate up to 22 jumpers (tandem instructors included) at a time – making a great jump plane for groups. Each of you will jump one at a time with your instructor. Tandem students will not jump at the same time for safety reasons only. While you may not be next to your colleague in the sky, you may be able to spot them under canopy – give ‘em a whoop! So, it’s up to your team to decide who goes first, will you willingly volunteer?

The key to a great group skydiving experience is teamwork and timing. Larger groups often take turns – one airplane load at a time – giving team members a chance to cheer each other on from the ground as they watch their coworkers soar.

Skydiving Benefits for Corporate Groups

Taking on a skydive as a team-building exercise sounds a bit far-fetched at first, but when you break it down – it is the perfect environment to add support, camaraderie, and confidence to your team. Here are the benefits that skydiving can contribute to your corporate team:

1. Break Down Barriers

There’s nothing more interesting than seeing your coworkers outside of the office and as their natural selves, amiright?! And skydiving has a way of leveling the playing field. It doesn’t matter if you’re the CEO or a new hire – everyone steps out of the plane as equals.

2. Improve Communication

Each team member that participates in the group parachute jump, must be able to effectively communicate while under the immense pressure of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. This not only helps understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses, but it challenges your team to work together in a way that nothing else can. Watch them cheer each other on, overcome their fears together, and share their stories for years to follow.

3. Leadership Skills

This collaboration between colleagues can enhance leadership skills and is a perfect example of how your team should work together in the office. These skills can be used in the office setting when taking on a big project, handling internal issues, and many other scenarios in the corporate world.

4. Morale Boost

Does your company need a reset? The morale boost alone will get your team’s heart pumping, bringing excitement and joy to the crew. The emotional, mental, and physical benefits of skydiving on each team member will serve as a refresher for your squad that can last for days – improving overall morale. Win-win!

5. Celebrate Achievements

Skydiving can be a great way to celebrate your team’s hard work; landing a big contract, expanding the office, opening a new location – whatever it is, your team deserves to celebrate!

6. Fundraising Opportunity

Get the band together to help collect sponsorships, or even invite media outlets to cover the event if you’re jumping for a cause. Fun tip: you can use skydiving as a way to promote your business or charity by wearing branded clothing during your jump. Nothing gets people’s attention faster than skydiving!
