Come visit us for the annual Tandems for Troops boogie at Skydive Midwest. We are the closest skydiving center to Chicago, IL and Milwaukee, WI!

Once a year we give back to the troops that have sustained injuries overseas. Join us for an exciting weekend (July 16-18) of skydiving, festivities, live DJ, raffles and more, to help us raise money for our country’s disabled veterans. Active and former military personnel, and their families, will enjoy tandem skydives at a discounted rate of $150.00. We will also be donating some free tandem skydives to disabled veterans. Last year we were able to raise over $2500. 00 for The Wounded Warrior Project. This year, with the Wounded Warrior Project and the Blueskies Foundation NFP (a new 501(c)(3) charity organization started by Skydive Midwest staff members), we would like to raise even more for our wounded warriors. Spend the day jumping out of an airplane and helping us support our country’s warriors who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Call 877-DIVE-OUT or book on-line and reserve your tandem skydive today!

Our skydiving instructors are highly experienced in taking persons with disabilities on safe and successful tandem skydives. Most disabilities can be accommodated but if you have any questions about a specific situation please call and speak with one of our skydive instructors. All skydiving participants should wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather and athletic type shoes. Military uniforms and apparel is encouraged. Call 877-DIVE-OUT or book on-line and reserve your tandem skydive today.

Anyone interested in volunteering during the event, making a tax deductible donation (cash or raffle prizes), or in other ways contributing to this event please contact us at
