  • Chicagoland Skydiving Center 1207 E Gurler Rd Rochelle, IL 61068 United States (map)

This event is open to proficient wingsuit pilots of all experience levels who want to learn how to compete in wingsuit performance.

The camp will be organized by Joe Ridler, member of the US National Team every year since the wingsuit performance discipline was adopted by the FAI in 2015. Ridler most recently had a 3rd place finish at the 2022 US National Championships and took home Gold in the National Team Championship and 4th overall at the 4th FAI World Championships. He is also the managing director of the Wide Open Wingsuit Series (WOWS), and has been known to abort a training jump for a savage plan B from time to time—"don't judge".
