Timber Pointe Outdoor Center sits on 170 wooded acres along Lake Bloomington near Hudson, Illinois, a setting that has welcomed campers, families, and private events since Easterseals Central Illinois acquired the property in 1989. Originally Camp Heffernan — a Boy Scout camp — the grounds have been developed into a year-round retreat and event destination with a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces suited to weddings, receptions, corporate meetings, and team-building programs. The Main Lodge anchors the property for larger gatherings, accommodating up to 250 guests on its main level. The lodge includes restrooms on both floors, a full kitchen, an elevator, private lower-level changing rooms, a back porch, and a dedicated outdoor lakefront ceremony space — a combination that makes it practical for a full wedding weekend from rehearsal through reception. Day-use buildings across the property serve corporate groups and private events for 25 to 250 guests, with WiFi, kitchenettes, screened porches, pavilions, and fire rings available depending on the building. Beyond the event facilities, the 170-acre campus offers optional programming — zip line, rock wall, archery, canoeing, and team-building activities — that groups can add to their rental.

The Bank Barn is available for private rental and accommodates up to 200 guests, making it well suited for weddings, family reunions, and celebrations that call for an authentic rustic setting. Groups can also rent the Carl Schultze Pavilion for smaller, more intimate gatherings, or opt for a full farm rental that includes the barn, pavilion, chicken pergola, and farmyard — giving exclusive access to the heart of the farm. A white wooden arbor is available for ceremonies, and a fire pit is included for bonfires and marshmallow roasting.

Lakeview Nature Center is a timber frame event facility set within 80 acres of prairie, wetland, and woodland in Macomb, Illinois. The building was constructed using hand-hewn oak timbers and mortise-and-tenon joinery — no nails hold the framework together, only wooden pegs — and was renovated in 2017. The center spans two main levels, both wheelchair accessible, and accommodates up to 85 guests. The main level features hands-on educational exhibits focused on local flora, fauna, and the area's ecological systems. The lower level is a flexible space suited to workshops, gatherings, and private events — from baby showers and birthday parties to business meetings and intimate celebrations. The surrounding Lakeview Nature Area is also home to the nation's largest seven-circuit Prairie Labyrinth, with hiking trails and diverse outdoor areas that extend the venue experience well beyond its walls.
