Description
Located at 100 YMCA Camp Rd in Cleveland, South Carolina, Fred W. Symmes Chapel is a breathtaking structure that is also known as Pretty Place due to its stunning view. It is one of the many buildings that make up YMCA Camp Greenville and was generously given by Mr. Fred W. Symmes for the enjoyment of the boys and girls who camp here each summer. The chapel serves as the spiritual center of the camp and has undergone several additions and improvements since its construction in 1941, including major upgrades in 2012 and 2018.
During our tour of the upstate of South Carolina, my wife and I made a stop at Pretty Place in Cleveland, South Carolina, with a small tiptoed into North Carolina. As we arrived that morning, we were delighted to find that we had the entire place to ourselves. I couldn't resist taking a photo of the chapel, and in a Photoshopped version, I added a new sky and the sun to capture the beauty of the moment.
