Our Setting

Camp Greenville is located in the heart of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Upper Greenville County, South Carolina. Its 1600 acres of mountain wilderness are bordered by 12,000 acres of State Park woodlands. Our cabins and facilities, nestled among the trees and rhododendron, combine to create a rustic atmosphere, ideal for any mountain getaway. In addition, we have a creative staff that allows us to offer a variety of exciting program options. Whether it's a church retreat or a day-long excursion for the office, the professionals at YMCA Camp Greenville can help to create a memorable and productive retreat or conference.  

Symmes Chapel: Pretty Place

Our most famous facility is the chapel, best know as "Pretty Place." This registered scenic attraction offers spectacular views of South Carolina's rippling mountains and sparkling Piedmont. It is an ideal location for worship services, devotions, breathtaking sunrises and other tailor-made ceremonies. The Chapel is available to all groups using our facilities upon prior request.

Selected cabins do provide semi-private sleeping quarters for guest speakers, chaperones, or group leaders. All participants must bring their own sleeping bags, linens, and towels.
