I would not hesitate to contact Skydive Spaceland too guys. They are a fantastic operation and I know several of the guys there from my association with Airborne Amputees, Limbs of Love, and my jump with world record parachutist, Jay Stokes. They run a first rate operation there!! I have nothing but my highest praise for this organization. At the very least, you could get them involved in a bidding war on a group package for us. Competition is the engine of Capitalism!!!

You can shoot all the bull you want. And for me that's what it's all about. I get the biggest kick out of these things and all the jokes and stories.

Re: The Texas Fun Jump
Brothers and Sisters!
Great questions were asked, so here are few pointers:
What worked at Sizzler was a potluck-style "catering", which I'm pimping right now: bring your own, plus enough to share.
Obviously, common supplies will be necessary, such as camp stoves/griddles, coffee maker, pans and pots, utensils, coolers, ice, etc.
Among the individual supplies I'd recommend 1 case of bottled water per participant, Gatorade, snacks/granola bars/MRE.
One idea was floating around was a waffle/pancake easy mixes (adding water only): could be excellent for breakfasts.
Current standing:
