READ THESE RULES AND CHECK THE BOX, PLEASE

Rules to Swarm By
Wondering how to beehave at a Swarm™?

We are all free-spirited Nomads so we know how we all feel about RULES…. But this is our party and if you come we do have some rules to live by. It’s our choice to have these rules and it’s your choice to accept them. If you don’t agree you don’t have to come. And that’s all we have to say about that.

Fires in fire pits are allowed (raised or contained)

Gray and Black water dumping is not allowed at this venue (There is a dump station at this site and it is FREE)

Be kind to one another! Golden rule, folks…learn it, teach it, live it!
No talking politics or religion around the fire. If it’s divisive, does it need to be discussed?

Leave the space better than you found it. This includes bathrooms.
Kids clean up after yourselves. Respect your elders.
No motorized vehicles are permitted at this site.

Dogs– 6′ leash or lead and hold it or tie it to something. Curtail their barking while you are there or away. Clean up all poop. If we need to speak to you about this repeatedly your dog may be asked to leave.

IF YOU ARE FOUND IGNORING YOUR DOG'S BUSINESS, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE EVENT AND POSSIBLY ANY FUTURE EVENT.

Aggressive dogs should have a red bandana on. Dogs who are being aggressive and their owners will be asked to leave. If you encounter an aggressive dog please make a confidential report to [email protected].
Clean up after your pets. No one wants the poop foot!

Make lots of new friends/family! The only way you will leave without meeting new people is if you hide in your rig! COME OUT AND PLAY.

Bring your own dishes to the snack shack every time.
Clean up after yourself if you use the mess hall to prepare food.

Widen the Circle-If someone new comes to the fire, announce “Widen the circle” and make room for them.
Cigarette butts are trash please dispose of them properly. (Y’all! That means NOT on the ground!)
Don’t throw food on the ground. Keep dogs safe and bugs away!
Take your trash to the dumpster.
If you see litter, pick it up.

No use of hallucinogens!
This is not a festival. It is a family reunion.

Alright…this one’s a bit of a touchy subject, and we aren’t asking everyone to believe what we believe but we do expect you to respect it. Please refrain from any practices that are believed to attract evil spirits of any kind.

People who have been coming for years will help to uphold a standard of how things should be done at Skoolie Swarm®. Listen to them if they speak, they won’t steer you wrong.
Respect Quiet hours 11pm-7am.
Generators may be run a very limited basis.
