The TRADITION
Growing up, the DeVore family always celebrated big milestones with a 3+ day party at the camp they owned. We always planned for the next big camp party to be Erin's wedding, so here it is!! We no longer own our own camp, so we are renting out Timber Pointe Outdoor Center (youth camp). This beautiful 160 acre camp is located right on Lake Bloomington. Eight kilometers of hiking trails, cabins right on site, etc. Not only will you have a great time, but this is a nice opportunity for Nick and Erin to spend more time with their guests.
