Tapawingo campers enjoy lunchtime in the Dining Hall

As our former director Jane always said, “We are a family, so we eat together.” Tapawingo’s size is intentional for many reasons, but particularly because it allows every camper to comfortably sit in the Dining Hall together for meals. We provide delicious family-style meals and our campers rotate tables every few days to allow them to get to know everyone in the Tapawingo community. In the Tap Dining Hall, there are table games, trivia and a song for everything!

  • We provide balanced meals with alternative options whether that be for preference or for allergies or health decisions.
  • In addition to the meal at breakfast there is yogurt, cereal and mounds of fresh berries. At lunch and dinner there is an extensive salad bar.
  • We offer meals that are vegetarian, vegan, dairy free and gluten free. We are a nut free facility.
“I’ve seen strength defined here at camp. I’ve seen girls on the Allagash and on The Mini Range face challenges head on by working together and supporting each other. To be a part of this is one of my greatest accomplishments. It’s taught me something I wish I knew five years ago: being strong doesn’t mean facing challenges alone. ”

Your daughter's bunk is her home for the summer. Our bunks are intentionally basic: single cots for each camper and counselor, screen windows and walls abound to create an outdoor sensation yet protected space, overhead lights and a single outlet. Our bunks house 8 campers and 2 counselors.
