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. 

“Camp songs are the thread that binds all Tap Campers–past and present. Our age group met up for a thirty year reunion and the words were ingrained in our hearts forever. Tapawingo is a part of who we are–reflected in our nicknames, friendships, songs, memories, and the good times we had.”

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. 

“I’ve learned things I never would’ve learned anywhere else and was able to do things I never would’ve done if it weren’t for camp. It’s shaped me into who I am. It’s so cool to have a place that you can say has done that for you. Tapawingo is my happy place. ”
