For 45 years, TERI has been dedicated to supporting individuals with special needs. As we’ve grown into the Campus of Life, our mission thrives through innovation and new opportunities. When you book a venue, catering or catering delivery, you’re helping support our growing community of TERI families.
Nestled between the rolling hills of San Marcos, TERI Campus of Life offers a stunning, 20-acre setting, surrounded by ancient oaks and pristine farmland. Our unique location not only provides a picturesque backdrop but also embodies a mission of inclusion, community support and inspiring hope. Your event brings hope and support to over 900 individuals with special needs and their families.
Our Campus serves as an exceptional nonprofit event venue for a wide range of events. With ten private event spaces available, the Campus can accommodate everything from team meetings, corporate retreats, theatre presentations, weddings and other social celebrations like birthdays, anniversaries and more. Since opening our venues to the public in 2023, we’ve hosted over 150 events at our venues, creating memorable experiences and building strong connections in our community. We’re grateful for the trusted relationships we’ve formed and excited to keep growing together!

The crown jewel of the campus is the Walter J. & Betty C. Zable Foundation Performing Arts & Fine Arts Center. This state-of-the-art theatre is ideal for hosting performances, end of year presentations, keynote speakers and panel discussions, offering a versatile space with included patios that can be tailored to meet your event’s specific needs.
All of TERI’s event venues come fully equipped with tables, chairs, cocktail tables, bars, heaters and more, ensuring that your event is both comfortable and stylish. To make your planning process even easier, TERI Catering provides a range of customizable and full-service menu options that can be easily adjusted to suit your event’s dietary needs. If you have a preferred caterer, no problem—outside licensed caterers are also welcome.
Hosting an event at another venue, your office, or even in your own home? Our Catering Delivery option brings fresh, delicious meals straight to you. Whether it’s an office luncheon, team party, presentation break-out, birthday at the park, celebration at another venue or a family gathering for a milestone event, our catering delivery let’s you focus on making memories, all while supporting a great cause.
No matter the event you are planning, TERI Campus of Life provides a beautiful and meaningful setting that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
