Since 1919, Tap has been making a difference in the lives of girls. Our staff, current families and alumnae agree that the experiences and relationships our campers enjoy during their summers at Tap are influential in their development into compassionate, courageous, and confident adults. 

“The positive impact Tapawingo has had on my life is indescribable. If I had to choose a word, it would be magical. Tapawingo is simply the most amazing place ever. Any summer camp can have great activities, but what makes Tapawingo so special is the bonds you form and the lessons you learn. ”

At Tap we are lucky enough to unplug, tune out the noise of the outside world and provide meaningful experiences and relationships for our campers. Our atmosphere of safety and inclusivity inspires Tap girls to find each other and themselves as they explore new adventures in a beautiful lakeside setting. 

Why Seven Weeks at Tap Makes a Difference

A Tap Girl for Life

Tap girls may move around the globe but they always have a home on Keyes Pond. Neither years nor distance can weaken this connection. Generations of Tapawingo campers are joined through songs, traditions, relationships, alumnae celebrations, shared experiences and their love for their summer home. 

“One thing that makes Tapawingo different from other camps is the vibe you get from a fellow Tap girl. There’s something about other Tap girls who are friendly and inclusive and as weird as you — it crosses all the generations, you’ll go up to them and sing songs and skip down the street in public and it’ll be like you went to camp together even if you had never met. ”
