| Waterfront: |
American Red Cross instructional swimming program, competitive swimming, diving, boating, canoeing, sailing, kayaking, waterskiing and windsurfing. Our "TAP Fishies" are an enthusiastic group who go to many camps to compete. |
| Landsports: |
Softball, field hockey, lacrosse, kickball, soccer, archery, basketball, volleyball, floor hockey, newcomb (a Tapawingo favorite!), cross-country and gymnastics. |
| Tennis: |
Our tennis facilities include six "Har Tru" (fast-drying) tennis courts, two "Plexi Pave" all-weather courts and a 95-foot-long rebound practice wall. |
| Ropes: |
We have an excellent ropes course on site with many challenging yet extremely safe elements, including a zip line! Before the girls embark on the "high ropes," they complete our "low ropes" elements, which are essential in learning teambuilding skills. |
| Tripping: |
We leave no territory untouched as all of our campers get to explore the beauty of Northern New England. We take day hikes and overnight camping trips for campers ages 8-11; multiple-day backpacking trips for older campers (including ascents of Mt. Katahdin and Mt. Washington), and multiple-day canoe and white-water rafting excursions on the Allagash, Saco, Androscoggin, Kennebec, and Penobscot Rivers, as well as many lakes in the area. We also take trips to the ocean, Acadia National Park, the scenic coastal town of Ogunquit, Quebec City, and more. |
| Horseback riding: |
Instruction is offered in English style on our own horses. Our stable facilities include two rings, sprinkler system, pastures and magnificent trails in and around camp. We encourage trail rides and have picnic riding trips. |
| Arts and crafts: |
Ceramics, pottery, jewelry, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, woodworking, stained glass, and fully-equipped digital photography. |
| Dramatics: |
Weekly shows, musicals, workshops, improvisation classes, dance studio, variety shows and skits. Every child who wants to be in a show can do so; or, she can be part of the team effort by helping with scenery, costumes, makeup, and lighting. |
I wanted you to know how absolutely happy Alejandra returned: full of good experiences, wonderful new friendships, and best of all, so confident and enriched. The first thing she said: please next year I want to go 7 weeks. All the sports she practiced made her feel so capable, and we feel so proud of her for participating in the 4-on-the-Fourth race and the lake swim. That is what we wanted for her. Four weeks full of activities, fun, and learning, doing things that she can’t do during the rest of the year in this megacity (Mexico City).
