Skydive Greene County is located in Xenia, Ohio just outside of the greater Dayton-Miami Valley area and is within a reasonable driving distance of major metropolitan areas including Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Richmond, Indianapolis, and Indiana. Situated on a private airport, Skydive Greene County offers a large landing area, a covered hanger for packing, rigging services, and a great staff of tandem instructors and coaches. We currently offer three Cessna 182 aircraft for students and experienced skydivers to jump from. We are also Ohio longest running Drop Zone which started in 1961!
If this is your first time skydiving, come out and meet our experienced staff. We offer tandem skydiving where, under the direct supervision of a qualified instructor, you will ride to our normal jumping altitude of 9,000 feet (or higher depending on the aircraft), experience the exhilaration of freefall, and then calmly enjoy the scenic glide under parachute back to the dropzone.
If after making your tandem skydive, you would like to further your skydiving career, we have a proven Static Line Course that will teach you everything you need to know about the sport of skydiving from exiting an aircraft, stearing the canopy, and landing safely at the Drop Zone. To read more about out teaching methods, click here.
To make your experience last a lifetime, we encourage you to invite along one of our great videographers who can capture your skydive in video and/or photographic form and make it yours to keep so the memories keep on coming.
Come learn from the best and come make a skydive today!
The Ashley Washburn Fund
Ashley Washburn made her first skydive on 07/07/07. Ashley fell in love with the sport we all live for and made 48 skydives in the year since she started jumping. Her profession as a case manager for the Autism Services Center in Huntington, WV did not enable her to jump as much as she would have liked but Ashley worked manifest and did whatever it took to make sure she was able to get in the air. Ashley attended the Sky Fest in Chester, South Carolina in June, 2008 and was initiated into the Pink Mafia womens' skydiving group.
On Sunday, July 20th, Ashley was injured in a tragic accident at the Lawrence County Airpark in South Point, Ohio. High winds ripped an aircraft hangar door from its track and lifted it over the top of a hanger building and the door smashed into Ashley resulting in her sustaining critical injuries. As Ashley's friends, we have established an account to aid her family with the astronomical medical expenses they are incurring, and to ensure that when she recovers, she will be able to return to the sport she loves so much. If you are able, please donate what you can to her recovery fund. Remember, every donation will help; even a dollar will make a difference.
Please mail donations to:

Thank you for opening your hearts to Ashley and her family. Your generosity will be repaid ten-fold the first time Ashley is able to jump again.
