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. 

“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. ”

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. 

“Tapawingo pushed me to try new things, even when they felt scary or uncomfortable. Tap helps us move out of our comfort zones and that has been an incredible life lesson for me–to not just live in this place of comfort but to move through it and to grow even when it feels scary or overwhelming. Tapawingo is truly a place of joy and the most wonderful place I’d want to be as a kid in the summer. ”
