We are a 7 day a week gliding operation.  You can come to Lake Keepit to fly for a day, a week or several weeks. We have excellent accommodation, well maintained gliders and a friendly, welcoming club atmosphere.

Air Experience Flights

If you have always wanted to fly like a bird or just wondered what it was like, than you must experience a sailplane flight. Gliding is something like sailing in the sky but with a third dimension. It’s safe, it’s fun and it’s an experience you will never forget.

The combination of mountains and vast plains plus the consistently good weather (they haven't nicknamed in Lake Cumulus for nothing) makes flying at Keepit superb. But by far its greatest asset is the club culture. The chat over a beer before we sit down for dinner together is as enjoyable as the flying. Great camaraderie, good humour, and great support from some of Australia's best competition pilots. The regular events and coaching days with world class pilots are fantastic opportunities to learn from the best. Don't miss the Keepit Regatta. Best flying and social fun you'll have in a week. And Jacques’ handicapped mini GPs each month are brilliant for slower or newer pilots to mix it with the guns. Very rewarding experience all round.
