Skysisters Skills Camps are run in conjunction with Learning Curve Camps at Ramblers Drop Zone, Toogoolawah in South East Queensland. Ramblers DZ is a Skydiving Resort of sorts - built by skydivers for skydivers. The Skills Camps commence with a 9am Meet and Greet on Monday morning and end with a Camp Debrief by the bonfire on Friday night.

The days are full of non-stop skydiving action! The aircraft are Cessna Caravans, 17-place turbines that fly jumpers to 14,000ft.

Skill progression and fun are the jumping main objectives. A sample of what's on offer at each Skills Camp are: AFF courses, B-Rel Tables, Photo Shoots, Star Crests, Hop'n'Pops, Canopy Handling, Canopy Gaggles, CRW, Cross Countries, Freefly Coaching, Tube Jumps, 4-way coaching, Night Jumps, Banana Crests, Wagon Wheel exits, fun 2-way Comps, Swoop'n'Chug Comps, AFF Instructor Courses, Tandem Instructor Courses, Little-ways, Big-ways, Any-ways!

Ladies wanting to learn about flying Video and Stills are encouraged to attend these Skills Camps.

Each load has a dedicated ground videographer who will take video footage of all of the landings. The landings are debriefed as a group each night after dinner. These debriefs are about more than just the landing techniques - much talk is on the aspects of canopy control, flight patterns, set-ups and crash techniques, just to name a few.

Each night (and any weather holds) a seminar will be run. The seminar topics range from practical applications like Cutaway Practice and Monthly Maintenance through to theoretical applications like Body Positions for Females, Pregnancy and Skydiving, Freefly Basics, Understanding the GPS, Opening Separation etc. Other seminars such as Malfunctions Refresher and General Incidents have valuable video footage as well. There are dozens of topics for seminars, those chosen will be from the wishes and needs of those attending.
