Wish Skydive - Tandem jumps for underprivileged and others that deserve a lifechanging experience

In a time when we all need a little extra light and joy in our lives, Dropzone Denmark, Denmark's only professional skydiving center, has launched an inspiring initiative: Wish Skydives.

This philanthropic project aims to provide tandem jumps from 4.5 kilometers for vulnerable individuals who, for financial reasons, would otherwise not have the opportunity to experience the unique freedom that a skydiving jump can offer.

Wish Skydives is our way of giving back, not only to our local community but to all of Denmark. This initiative has arisen from a reflection on what Dropzone Denmark represents and the values we stand for. Which is, in short, about providing fantastic experiences to people from all walks of life.

What is a Wish Skydive?

In very practical terms, a Wish Skydive is a tandem skydive from a height of 4.5 km, which Dropzone Denmark offers completely free of charge to selected individuals who, in some way, deserve a life-changing experience.

However, a Wish Skydive is more than just a tandem skydive; it is a unique experience that can have a truly positive impact on one’s understanding of life and joy.

By donating tandem skydives to, among others, vulnerable individuals in Denmark, we aim to share the joy of skydiving with those who could benefit the most from such an experience. Whether it is a person who has struggled with illness, a relative of a long-term sick child, or a veteran facing PTSD, our goal is to provide them with an experience that can bring light into their everyday lives.

What is a Tandem jump?

But what does a tandem jump actually involve?

A skydiving jump not only provides an adrenaline rush but can also boost the confidence and joy of life in participants. The idea of soaring through the air with an impressive view can seem daunting, but many describe the experience as "life-changing."

During a tandem jump, the participant is securely strapped to an experienced instructor through a specially designed harness. The tandem instructor takes care of all the practical aspects, making the entire process both safe and memorable.

Who is eligible for a Wish Skydive?

We carefully evaluate each application to ensure that those who receive a Wish Jump benefit the most. Examples of eligible recipients includes:

  • Individuals who have undergone serious illnesses
  • People with physical challenges
  • Volunteers who have made extraordinary contributions to the community
  • Veterans struggling with mental health challenges
  • Relatives of long-term sick children
  • Individuals who have experienced traumatic events

Join our community!

Together, we can create unforgettable moments and change lives for those who deserve it. So let’s take a leap into the unknown and show how we can make a positive difference in our community – one skydive at a time.

If you know someone who could benefit from a Wish Skydive, we encourage you to send an email to: info@dropzonedenmark.dk.
