Tapawingo Builds Compassion, Courage, and Confidence

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. 

“When I first came to Tapawingo, I was 7 years old. The camaraderie I had in the bunk was incredible. It was a bond that we had, and it was different from anything we had at home. It was our special place. We did all the things that we probably would not have done at home–I learned to play tennis at camp, softball, basketball. We learned how to be a good sport. ”

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 went on a whim, I didn’t know what to expect, and camp turned out to be a very magical place for me. It allowed for me a platform to realize that I am a true leader, it allowed me to be silly, but to also be serious. ”
