Should my child become ill or suffer an accident during participation in TAP, the leaders will attempt to contact me immediately. If unable to reach me, they are authorized to secure medical attention and care as may be necessary. I acknowledge I am responsible for any costs incurred. I acknowledge that medication may not be administered to my child during TAP.

I hereby give Chattahoochee Valley Episcopal Ministry (CVEM) permission to publish, copyright, and use photographs, slides, video, and/or audio of my child participating in TAP. I understand that the intent of CVEM is to use these images for non-commercial, promotional purposes and/or in its role as an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Church and community partner advocating equality and diversity among all people.

I give permission for my child to participate in all TAP activities based at the Rankin Arts Center and sponsored by the Chattahoochee Valley Episcopal Ministry, Inc. This includes field trips taken in cars, vans, public transportation, and walking activities. (Notification of each specific field trip will be provided in advance.)

Thank you for your interest in TAP 2023! Be sure to check your email for your info!

The Thompson-Anderson-Pound Art Program or TAP is a five-day arts program for children ages six through eleven from diverse cultures and faiths. Through music, drama, dance, art, and stories children discover the value of self and of diversity in community. Adult and teen-age volunteers from area Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and other faith communities co-plan and teach the curriculum. The longest-running interfaith event in the region, TAP will celebrate its 25th year in 2020.

Youth are trained to serve as Teen Interns and Mentors. During the week preceding the program, these teens from diverse backgrounds get to know and trust each other, engage the year’s theme, and learn to be program leaders. These teenagers truly are mentors; they are taught to live into positions of leadership and responsibility, accountable to their teammates and their group of children. They shepherd them throughout the rotations, help and guide them, and assist the adult volunteers. The children bond with and emulate these young leaders; the youth grow and flourish with this responsibility.
