ABOUT TAPAWINGO
our camp
Tapawingo is a Christian girls camp located on an island in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. It serves girls ages 9-17 and is unique because of its beauty and biblical standards of excellence. Campers and staff alike are encouraged and inspired to find meaning and fulfillment in a hurting world.
Campers have described Tapawingo as "a haven of rest and refreshment." It is a place where girls can simply be themselves, free from societal pressures and expectations. A place where young women have the chance to discover God’s unconditional love for them through Jesus Christ, grow in a deeper understanding of God’s Word and see His best for their lives!
our campers
Tapawingo is open during June - August to girls 9-17, regardless of race, creed, or nationality. We offer a well-rounded eight-week camping program, with a maximum stay of two weeks per camper. Tapawingo has 10 cabins housing eight campers and two staff. Our staff to camper ratio is 1:8, and many activities have a ratio of 1:4.
Our campers come from a wide range of economic, spiritual, social, family, and ethnic backgrounds. We do our best to be sensitive to the multicultural backgrounds of campers at Tapawingo and to hire staff from a variety of backgrounds to provide a versatile ministry team.
our Mission
Our purpose is to clearly and lovingly glorify Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior through personal example, meaningful activity, Biblical direction, and Christ-centered relationships in a friendly environment that promotes healthy growth and development in all areas of a young woman's life.
our Vision
Tapawingo seeks to provide a place for young women to discover who God is and His best for their lives. It's in this setting of unconditional love, structured challenge, healthy living, and uplifting role models that we hope to help girls discover the truth about the Lord, His love for them and to give them a vision for their future walk with Him.
Tapawingo is a member of the Christian Camp and Conference Association.
