Children’s Chapel – A wonderful ceremony option.
the children’s chappel sits on a rock ledge that overlooks the ocean between Camden and Rockport. The road its on continues around Beachamp Point, which is a scenic byway. Just past the moon cows that pasture in the Aldemere farm, the Vesper Hill Children’s Chappel was a gift of Helen Bok, a famous local philanthropist. The chappel itself is a simple Pine structure, with openings on all four sides and views of the water. The spot was once a summer estate and later a hotel called Tamarack Lodge, which was destroyed by fire in 1954. Built in the style of a Swiss chalet, its grounds are open to the public and available for special occasions like weddings, baptisms and memorials. The chapel can seat 50 and the first wedding was held there Sept. 24, 1961.
To reach the chapel, turn onto Calderwood Lane from Russell Avenue in Rockport. Drive past Megunticook Golf Course. On your right you’ll find a driveway marked by a low boulder with the words “Vesper Hill” inscribed on it.
Seating for 50 in Chapel, ceremony site only.
