After a few years of expansive growth on the beautiful TERI Campus of Life, the Summer of 2025 brings new and exciting happenings across the campus.
As Summer kicks off, these are a few updated community activities and events that support the work TERI does everyday to support the special needs community.
The TERI line up of mission-driven businesses inspire inclusiveness and build bridges of understanding and care within the local community.
At the Campus of Life, our TERI Common Grounds Café offers freshly made food for breakfast and lunch available Monday through Friday. There is a new dinner menu offered on Friday and Saturday evenings, and finally our weekend brunch includes Bluegrass music every Sunday.
Our menu features locally sourced ingredients, including produce from our campus farm as well as our own TERI microgreens, which supports and employs our program participants. We currently operate our own microgreens farm that provides USDA Certified Organic microgreens for over 20 local restaurants.
The Campus of Life is also an award-winning event and wedding venue, offering 13 unique spaces for parties from 10 to 300. Our on-site event planning team provides world class service, and the on-site catering operation makes the event planning process efficient and simple.
We have hosted over 100 events at the Campus of Life and continue to hear comments like, “We are so proud to be able to have events at the campus that support the amazing work TERI does every day.”
Recently we launched our catering delivery service, directly supporting our Vocational Internship Program that employs gifted adults with special needs. Our interns prepare many of our baked goods and pastries while learning the skills that are needed to succeed in the culinary field.
Finally, the Campus of Life is home to the Bornemann Theatre, a state-of-the-art, 200-seat venue that opened in May 2024. Since then, we’ve hosted over 60 events, featuring international award-winning musicians, nationally renowned theatre companies, multiple San Diego Music Award winners, and three sold-out performances by the incredible TERI Players.
The warmth, hope and joy the TERI Players bring to the Bornemann stage is truly life-changing and is not to be missed!
Indeed, there is much going on at The Campus of Life and we hope to see you at the Campus of Life this summer!
