Painted Warriors

Connect with Archery

Painted Warriors is an 82-acre ranch located in the rolling foothills of the Rocky Mountains, a quiet place to recharge, and reconnect. Offering six large canvas tents and open year-round, guests are invited to engage their senses through half-day interpretative forest walks, horseback riding, archery, winter snowshoe experiences, and craft workshops. Infused throughout are the traditions, stories and customs of Tim Mearns and Tracey Klettl’s Cree, Ojibway and Metis culture. It’s a wonderful way to participate, learn, and have fun in the process.
