Workshops at the Paintrock

Workshop weeks are built around a subject and a host: horsemanship with Cam Schryver, writing, painting, food and wine. The rest of the week is the same as any other stay at the ranch, with lodging in tents along the creek, meals from our camp chef and time on horseback.

Program Approach

Each workshop is led by one or two hosts and follows its own schedule. Sample itineraries are on each workshop's page.

Groups are capped at 14 guests, including the hosts, so there's room for real feedback and conversation.

The Paintrock Experience

While each workshop week has a distinct focus, the foundation of the ranch experience remains the same as the rest of our stays.

Guests stay in comfortable canvas tents, enjoy meals prepared on site by our camp chef, and spend their days immersed in the landscape. Most weeks will include opportunities for horseback riding, as well as other outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing. Please read the event description carefully, or contact us for more information about what activities each workshop includes.
