The first ever Swarm to the Shepherd will be held at Trinity Camp & Retreat Center in Melrose, Florida. This is not a festival, it’s a chance to come and relax with the Christian travelling/nomad community. Just like at previous Swarms we will have epic potluck dinners, community breakfasts, kickball games, Costume party, informative talks, movie nights PLUS daily devotion groups, worship bands, a nightly sermon series and more!

In February 2024 we had over 275 homes in attendance. You do not have to be a traveler/nomad to join us at the Swarm to the Shepherd. If you know Jesus or you want to know him more then you are welcome to attend.

There are full bathrooms, a commercial kitchen we can use if we keep it clean, porta potties in the area where we all park, a pool, zipline for kids, lake for fishing or use with kayaks or paddle boards and and ultimate frisbee course. The location is right beside a nice rails to trails bike path.

The exact location is Trinity Camp & Retreat Center 7996 County Line Rd Melrose, Florida. Please ask anyone you invite to register on our website www.skoolieswarm.com 

We will be allowing daytrippers to come, worship, learn with us and meet the community.

Practice your off grid skills. There are no electric hookups. Generators are allowed. Loud generators and 24 hr generators will be asked to park in their own area. There is NO Dump Station but there is water to fill tanks. Firewood will be available for purchase on site or you can bring your own.

When you are choosing dates you will click on your first day and then the day you will be leaving.
