*Directions from Cola*

Skydive Carolina has a great site for directions, with visuals and map pieces. Check it out at http://skydivecarolina.com/directionsnew.html

 *When you Arrive*

Be sure to check in! We'll be set up under the hanger (the huge building where they pack and keep the airplanes)... you can't miss it.

*Sleeping Arrangements*
We will have tents to set up on Friday, but if you have a tent, bring it! Remember your pillow and your own sleeping duds (sleeping bag, blankets, sheet, etc.) It might be chilly!

*How to Dress for a Jump*
You'll get to wear a fun jumpsuit when you skydive, like so… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumpsuit
but wear comfortable clothes for underneath. (for ex. a bulky sweatshirt probably isn't the best idea. Jeans or shorts and a comfy long sleeve tee shirt is what most people do) But for when you're not jumping, dress according to the weather. (for Chester, SC)

*Saturday Night Activity- Tie Dye!*
We decided it would be fun to make some rad T-shirts to have in addition to our club tees. Bring a white tee(s) if you want, and we'll provide the strings and dye material.

 *Alcohol Notification*
Alcohol consumption will not be tolerated to those under the age of 21. Even with those over the age of 21 we are not a proponent for nor do we wish our students to consume alcohol while representing our organization and school. The Flying Gamecocks has a stand on ensuring that while students have their right to do what they please, we do not condone alcohol at our events.
