“Personally, I have met some of my best friends here as we've been able to walk alongside each other in our faith and learn how to encourage one another in Christ. Spiritually, my faith has grown, been challenged, and been invested in. Tapawingo is so intentional about spiritual growth. There is such an emphasis on the Word of the Lord and rooting ourselves in this truth daily, which has given peace and hope like no other.”

“Being on staff at Tapawingo has not only brought life-long friendships, but has also encouraged me in my faith through the many intentional conversations that I have had with fellow staff members. The opportunities to both share what I've been learning from the Lord and to hear from the wisdom of others have been incredibly spiritually refreshing and renewing!”

“Being surrounded by people who shared the same heart for kids and desire to point them toward Jesus made every day meaningful. I loved watching both campers and staff lift each other up in faith, and it was amazing to see how, together, we created a place where everyone belonged and where campers could experience the joy of Christ.”

"Being on staff taught me to lead with God at the center. He’s the perfect example, loving, understanding, and calling us higher. I grew in patience, servant-heartedness, and true reliance on the Lord. This experience gave me boldness to live out my faith confidently, both in life and in the workplace."

"I loved seeing the Lord work in the lives of campers, other staff members, and in myself over the course of the summer. Tapawingo truly is a place of joy and is such a gift. I learned so much about the dependency on the Lord in all things and the joy that can be found in every single thing we do each day.”

“Serving alongside sisters in Christ who provide so much encouragement. The deepest friendships, so firmly rooted in the Lord. I honestly think one of the sweetest parts of serving on the island is the culture of leaving notes of encouragement in each other's mailboxes.”
