Skoolie Swarm has quickly become the beacon for those passionate about the skoolie and van lifestyle. Every winter, enthusiasts, van lifers, and wanderlust-filled souls converge on sunny Florida for an unforgettable 10 day-long celebration. But the gathering doesn’t stop with the winter sun. For 3 years now in the fall, the Skoolie Swarm community arrives in Bainbridge, NY for the Fall Swarm. In 2024 an idea for a Christ centered gathering was raised and the 1st Swarm to the Shepherd was held in early 2025 and has become an annual event. The year 2026 will be an exciting one with 5 Swarms including a special 100 year celebration of Route 66 in Pontiac, Illinois and a “Home for the Holidays” Swarm in December at the Doe Lake campground where we have gathered before.

As the community grows, so have our ambitions. In the coming years, Skoolie Swarm will host even more events, each designed to deepen connections, share innovations, and celebrate the freedom that defines the skoolie movement. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or just starting your journey, the road ahead promises more gatherings, more adventures, and more memories with Skoolie Swarm.
