Timber Pointe Outdoor Center

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.
