Skydive Greater Moves to Chicagoland Skydiving Center

After four years in business in Kankakee, Illinois, Skydive Greater is about to call a new place home. In March 2017, the father and son team of Brad and Cody Vancina will begin working at Chicagoland Skydiving Center in Rochelle, as skydive operations end at Greater Kankakee Airport.

The Vancina duo started the family business with the aim of providing exceptional customer service while enjoying their shared passion for skydiving. CSC looks forward to welcoming them to the team.

A Bit About Skydive Greater

When Brad and Cody Vancina wanted to start a family business together, they went for something fun. Their Kankakee-based skydiving company was built on the foundation of amazing customer service, and that dedication has only strengthened over the years.

While their devotion to customer service hasn’t changed, their company’s reach certainly has. Skydive Greater has grown include a winter location in the Philippine Islands, a way to keep the thrills going all year long. The Vancina family made the decision to focus their business efforts on the company’s foreign location, but enjoy the summers at home near Chicago.
