Pretty Place will NOT be hosting an in person Sunrise Service open to the public. Plan ahead for the details of this year’s virtual event.

Fundraising continues to support the next phases of the Pretty Place Chapel Accessibility Project, which will include: the addition of new restroom facilities, new benches inside the chapel, and the addition of a wheelchair ramp to the front of the chapel. Our team recently worked with EAS Surveying, who donated their services, to complete the Site Survey in preparation for the upcoming projects.

RESTOCKED 11/18/23 - Introducing… the brand new (exclusively sold by YMCA Camp Greenville) Pretty Place Chapel Christmas tree ornament.

Tabitha and Tiffany have been best friends for 36 years. In the past year, Tiffany lost her dad to cancer and, only 6 weeks later, lost her younger brother too. Thanks to her bestie, she found peace and solace at Pretty Place Chapel.

The Pretty Place Chapel parking lot now features 3 new “event style” port-a-potties, which are considered an upgrade from the previous style in the world in portable/temporary restrooms. The larger of the three individual stalls meet ADA compliance as an accessible option.

The Fred W. Symmes “Pretty Place” Chapel re-opened today after being closed for renovations. Upgrades included the installation of two new gravel parking sections, which hold an additional 46 vehicles.

Update: The new gravel parking lot installation is almost complete. Pretty Place Chapel is scheduled to re-open to the public on Thursday, February 9.

The first phase of Camp Greenville’s Pretty Place Accessibility Project is underway with construction beginning on the new gravel parking lot, to serve an additional 40 cars.
