The Teen Apprentice Program (TAP) was started in 1997 to give teens the opportunity to prepare for future employment as camp counselors. “Tappers” assist with our Pioneers (ages 4-5) under the direct supervision of Nadine Cubeta and Patricia Daignault. Tappers help children transition from one activity to another. they play games with the children, help children change in and out of their clothing, and assist the teachers and the director as needed. Throughout this process, Tappers learn how to care and be responsible for young children while meeting expectations similar to those of an employer.

Successful applicants to TAP show promise as mature, enthusiastic individuals who are ready to handle job responsibilities. They must like working with young children, preferably having prior work history babysitting or in some other capacity. Interested Tappers should send a brief letter that explains the applicant’s interest in the program, a resume or list of work and volunteer experience, and a completed registration form from this web brochure to Debora Diggins, Director of Summer Camp and After School Care. Please circle the dates on your registration form for which you are available. Our strongest applicants will be invited to interview for acceptance. Please do not send tuition payments until an applicant has been invited to join the Tapper Program.
