Looking for a unique experience for your Corporate Retreat, Family Gathering, or a getaway with friends? Consider a rental of the Lac du Bonnet Wildlife Association’s Outdoor Education Centre and Ranges to make it a memorable outing for your group!

All range rentals include a Range Safety Officer (RSO) to oversee your event and help assure the safety of participants and observers by following the LDBWA range rules and the generally accepted range rules of the Chief Provincial Firearms Office. Depending on the experience of your group we can also provide additional personnel to assist or instruct less experienced shooters.
