Fred Symmes gave the chapel to the YMCA so that its campers could enjoy its beautiful view all summer long. Camp Greenville spans 1,600 acres and serves as a summer camp, conference center, and environmental education facility. Symmes Chapel is a popular wedding venue and worship site, and visitors are welcome except when it is in use for events. It is strongly advised to call ahead and check the schedule before planning a visit!

Hi Brenda! Symmes Chapel is owned by Camp Greenville, and they request that visitors check with them first before visiting the chapel. Here is a link to their website: http://www.campgreenville.org/
