Ranger Lake Bible Camp is owned and operated by One Hope Canada. Our camp is located on over 700 acres of land approximately 30 minutes of north of Biggar, 45 minutes south of North Battleford, and just over 1 hour west of Saskatoon.

We are able to accommodate groups of up to 110 students; our minimum group size is 20 people. Students sleep in our main cabins which sleep 12 people each and are equipped with wood frame bunk beds. If your group requires separate housing for your teachers, we have private accommodations available. Guests must provide their own bedding.
