Great Smoky Mountains Art
Life Is Not Measured By the Number of Breaths We Take, But By the Moments That Take Our Breath Away...
This is a view and an image taken from Pretty Place Chapel. You are standing in North Carolina looking out and down into South Carolina. Now you know why this chapel is called Pretty Place Chapel and the Great Smoky Mountains are sometimes referred to as, the Blue Ridge Mountains. The blue ridge mountains here are majestic. You can come here anytime early in the morning for it faces eastward and is always open.
Fred W. Symmes Chapel (also known as "Pretty Place" because of its amazing view) is one of the many buildings that make up YMCA Camp Greenville. It was given by Mr. Fred W. Symmes for the enjoyment of the boys and girls who camp here each summer and is the spiritual center of the camp.
The current chapel was constructed in 1941 with several additions and improvements made in subsequent years including major upgrades made in 2012.
The Chapel is located on private property owned by the YMCA Camp Greenville (a branch of the YMCA of Greenville, SC). Camp Greenville has been in existence since 1912 and covers 1400 acres. It is a year-round operation serving as a Summer Camp, Environmental Education Center, Group & Conference Center, and wedding venue.
