Seven Hills Skydivers is a not for profit, all volunteer, member owned club. In business to promote skydiving and introduce people to the sport by training students and performing demonstration jumps, we have been in existence since 1962, for over 45 years. Safety is our main priority and our record is second to none!
We also make people's dreams come true! See how one mom's dream was fulfilled at Seven Hills Skydivers through the Regis and Kelly show and a video is on the videos page.
We are a Group Member in good standing with the United States Parachute Association (USPA) and use only USPA licensed instructors and coaches.
7 Hills uses modern, state of the art sky diving equipment: - Ram Air (square) parachutes that actually glide for slow descents and soft landings. - Automatic Activation Devices (AAD) in the unlikely event that your reserve parachute must be used. - Helmet, goggles, jumpsuit, altimeter, and radio enable us to help you fly the parachute and make a safe, soft landing. - Two Cessna 182 aircraft, both flown by commercially licensed pilots.
We offer 2 types of first jump instruction and training programs. You can choose from either one for your first skydive: 1) Instructor Assisted Deployment (IAD) or 2) Tandem. Pictures of these are on the photos page. Tandem and other videos are on the videos page. And for questions, please go to our Frequently Asked Questions page.
We will make your first jump a safe and exciting adventure. There is absolutely nothing like the feeling you get when you make your first skydive! Wisconsin Skydiving is more than jumping out of an airplane. It's stepping out into a different world, a world of human flight, where you can actually FLY! Try it once and you will never be the same! Whenever you look skyward, you'll want to be up there. Come jump with the skydivers that do it for the love of the sport! Go for it!

A writer for The Daily Cardinal shares her experiences learning about skydiving safety, and jumping with Seven Hills Skydivers while getting the rush of a lifetime!
Our own 'Hairy' Bob Felt and Jim 'Razz' Rasmussen from Seven Hills Skydivers joined 98 other CRW canopy specialists from around the world to build a 100-way canopy formation, the biggest ever.
A new world record has been set at the Florida Skydiving Center at Lake Wales, Florida USA on November 21st, 2007. One hundred parachutists linked up under parachute to form the largest parachute diamond formation ever created. The parachutists came from 14 countries to participate on the record skydive.
The skydivers utilized five aircraft, the first dropping nine jumpers from an altitude of 20,000 feet. The second dropped the next 27 jumpers from an altitude of 18,000 feet. The third aircraft dropped jumpers from 16,000 feet and the final two aircraft dropped the remaining jumpers from 13,000 feet. The formation took approximately 11 minutes and 30 seconds to build and was held for 12 seconds. It was completed on the fifth attempt and captured on HD video by seven videographers. The formation was 290 feet (88 meters) tall and 175 feet (53 meters) wide. (The size of a football field) The formation weighed 20,388 pounds (9,230 kilos). In comparison 6 Ford Mustangs weigh only 19,500 pounds. A 747-400 jet is only 231 feet long. The Wright brothers first flight was almost one third the distance as the formation is tall. Miami Air Traffic Control Center could monitor the formation on radar to keep other aircraft from coming into close proximity to the formation. Can you find Bob (#72) and Jim (#6)?
