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. 

“Tap friendships are amazing, 35 years since my first summer at camp and those friendships have endured, we have had so many adventures together... I’m forever thankful for my Tap friends.”

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. 

“Tap is magical. As a camper and in my memory, camp was a place of joy where you could be free to be your authentic self. You were independent and learned how to be a friend, you had so much fun, could be silly and goofy, and feel comfortable doing that. I think those feelings and that experience carries you through life and teaches you that it feels really good to be yourself and to know that people will accept you for yourself. ”
