Hi, GVL. Kayla here, 6AM Branded Content Creator. Like a lot of people, I spent my high school summers working as a camp counselor. In my case, it was at a YMCA day camp in central New Jersey. I have warm memories of that place, but I have to admit: YMCA Camp Greenville puts it to shame. Why? The Pretty Place Chapel , for one. (If I hadn’t already gotten married, I would 100% be making a reservation here.)
A little history: The Fred W. Symmes Chapel was constructed in 1941 + got the name Pretty Place due to its spectacular views. Camp Greenville welcomes visitors to use the chapel, except for when it’s booked for events – like weddings.
Reason #1: This view, though.

That. Sunset.

The force is strong with this view.
Reason #2: Keepsake portraits like these.

No big deal. It’s whatever.

It’s fine. This is casual.

I’m not crying. You’re crying.
Reason #3: It’s a showcase for the Upstate outdoors.

Is this heaven?

This sky is for sure making all your out of state relatives want to move to Greenville.

. They have lots of availability in 2020, and they still have limited availability for this year if you’re looking for last minute elopements, weekday weddings, or vow renewals for a special anniversary. 💐 Ⓟ
