Original words:
At summer’s beginning Tap opens anew Maintaining old friendships yet gaining some new Learning together through all that we do Memories of Tap will remain in our hearts for e’er Though distance may be keep us apart for so long Our friendships we’ve made here will always be strong Rituals, competition both gray and the blue United as campers so true Surrounded by nature, enclosed in pine Thoughts of camp meaning with us are entwined Living together, maturing with time Grasping the reasons of life Oh, Camp Tapawingo, through you we have learned For guidance and love, you always have shown When summer is ending, we think of the past Memories of Tap will remain in our hearts for e’er. |
