The Lakeview Chapel

The Lakeview Chapel is a beautiful, seasonal worship space located on main site. The chapel sits 200 comfortably and is ideal for Weddings, Sunday services, and as a large group meeting area. The altar/stage area is perfect for drama, music and multimedia presentations (with LCD Projector and large screen) - making the area flexible and accommodating to both traditional and contemporary services. The Chapel also has a Yamaha Clavinova for use by guests.

The Koert Foster Memorial Center is located directly underneath the Chapel and provides theater-style seating for 100 guests or 75 at tables, a gas-insert fireplace, a piano, a kitchenette and two restrooms. This well lit space, with its versatile arrangement, has quickly become a favorite space for quilting guilds and craft groups. The Foster Center can be used in conjunction with the Chapel or booked separately.

History
Plans for a Chapel at Casowasco were drawn up early in it’s history. Eli Whitney and Don Boyd rallied campers to build an outdoor chapel for morning worship and evening vespers. In 1947, the Lakeview Campgrounds were sold and the proceeds designated for the building of the “Lakeview Chapel”. The architect designed the building after a rustic chapel in the mountains of Arizona which featured a large window behind the altar looking out at the view. The Chapel was dedicated on June 21st, 1953. The Foster Center is named in honor of Koert Foster, the long time, beloved manager of Casowasco who died tragically in a hunting accident in 1974.
