First Commercial Skydiving Center in the United States
Come Skydive at Jumptown
Home of the first commercial skydiving center in the United States, Jumptown is New England's flagship dropzone with a rich history in the sport of skydiving. Only 70 miles west of Boston, we are a full-service facility offering tandem skydiving for first-time jumpers, unique learn to skydive programs and special rates for experienced skydivers.
Jumptown is operated by the Massachusetts Sport Parachute Club, a not-for-profit organization that exists solely for the promotion and enjoyment of skydiving and sport parachuting. It doesn't mean that skydiving is a perfectly safe sport - It's not! It doesn't mean that skydiving is a sport for everyone - It isn't! What it means is that we are a group of jumpers who care about the sport and want to share the experience with others in a careful, controlled manner. Located in Orange, MA, Jumptown is an ideal destination for skydiving Boston, Amherst and New England.
At Jumptown, you are trained in the risks and rewards of becoming a skydiver, be it just for a once in a lifetime experience or a path to self-development. Regardless of what path you choose, you will be a well-informed student and will feel confident putting your trust in our experienced Instructors hands.
I was psyched to have Zack again!
