Why Summer is the Perfect Time to Try Archery at Barefoot Bushcraft in Fonthill, Ontario!
When the days are long, the air is warm, and nature is in full bloom, there’s no better time to step outside and try something new. At Barefoot Bushcraft in Fonthill, Ontario, summer is one of the absolute best seasons to dive into the timeless skill of archery. Whether you’re looking to connect with nature, experience a new adventure, or simply enjoy a fun day outdoors with friends or family, our archery experience is the perfect summer activity for all ages.
The Beauty of Outdoor Archery in Summer
Summer in the Niagara Region brings ideal weather for outdoor activities. With lush green surroundings, the gentle rustling of trees, and the warm breeze on your skin, our outdoor archery range offers a peaceful yet exciting environment to try something ancient and powerful. Unlike indoor ranges, shooting outdoors provides a more natural experience that connects you with the rhythm of the Earth—something we value deeply at Barefoot Bushcraft.
And for the true earth warriors? You’re welcome to kick off your shoes and go barefoot! There’s something grounding and primal about feeling the earth beneath your feet as you take aim, breathe in the summer air, and release the string. It’s not just archery; it’s an immersive experience in nature.
Perfect for Beginners of All Ages
Never held a bow before? No problem. At Barefoot Bushcraft, we specialize in teaching beginners. Our friendly and knowledgeable instructors guide you through every step of the process—from how to properly stand, hold the bow, nock an arrow, draw, and release. Safety is always our top priority, and we’ll also show you how to be mindful and respectful of the equipment, yourself, and others.
We cover all the important safety rules, including how to safely hang up your bow when you’re done, keep your distance from the range when others are shooting, and maintain proper posture to avoid injury. Our sessions are structured to be welcoming, supportive, and most of all—fun!
All Equipment Provided
One of the best parts of trying archery at Barefoot Bushcraft is that we provide everything you need. You don’t have to invest in expensive equipment or figure out what to bring. We supply high-quality recurve bows, arrows, and targets—everything needed for a safe and successful archery experience. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and a pair of sturdy feet (or not, if you’re feeling adventurous and want to go barefoot!).
Affordable, Accessible, and Family-Friendly
We believe in making archery accessible to as many people as possible. That’s why we keep our pricing affordable: just $35 per person, or $25 for kids under 13. Whether you’re a solo adventurer, a family looking for a unique day out, or a group of friends seeking a new activity, we’re ready to welcome you.
Free parking is available on-site, so you don’t have to worry about city hassles or additional costs. Just show up, park, and start your journey into the world of archery.
Make Memories That Last a Lifetime
There’s something incredibly rewarding about hitting a target for the first time, or watching your child beam with pride as they draw back the bow and let their first arrow fly. Archery teaches patience, focus, discipline, and self-confidence—and these are traits that benefit people of all ages.
For families, it’s a chance to bond over a shared experience and try something out of the ordinary. For couples, it’s a unique and active date idea. For individuals, it’s a way to build new skills and embrace personal growth. Plus, the great outdoors provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable summer memories.
