GENERAL RENTAL INFORMATION
The Rough Acres Bible Camp Society owns and operates Rough Acres on a non-profit charitable basis. Eight Christian churches located in Kitimat, Terrace, the Hazelton’s, and Smithers, and numerous members and volunteers support the Society. The camp property and facilities have been developed by the voluntary gifts and labours of the churches, Christian friends and area businesses.
Rough Acres Bible Camp is dedicated to evangelical outreach to the people in Northwest British Columbia. It seeks to provide children and adults with an opportunity to study the Bible while enjoying the wholesome environment of a beautiful wilderness retreat on a tranquil lake. Each summer, since 1973, approximately 400 campers have participated in our summer programs.
The camp is located on Dunalter Lake (a.k.a Irrigation Lake) 16 km west of Houston, B.C. about 2 km up Barrett Hat Rd. The lake and 80-acre campsite provide excellent aquatic and land based recreational opportunities during all seasons of the year.
