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. 

“ I don’t know if I ever stopped to appreciate life until I went to camp. It’s a space where you can be you, no labels. I didn’t have to be someone else, I could be me. Tapawingo is a place that, parents, you should send your daughters to. They will learn so much from the staff. Staff will learn so much from the campers. Staff, I encourage you to take the chance and go to camp, it prepares you for life. ”

Our intimate camp community fosters connections and deep relationships. We cheer each other on, we hold one another accountable to our philosophy and culture, we tap into shared experiences and celebrate our differences. We are a FAMILY.

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. 

“There’s something about Tapawingo that makes it so special. It’s the community, bringing together all of these people from so many different walks of life, from all over the world. It’s unlike anything else, you just can’t recreate it.”
