If you're here, it is most likely because you're a playful person who enjoys engaging with kids… and we love that about you! At Tocaloma, we tap into our sense of childhood wonder and possibility to make each day a new, fulfilling adventure.
We know that the best way for you to provide a positive, welcoming experience for the campers is for you to feel safe and supported at work. Our environment is one where positive communication among all staff members is rewarded and negative talk, such as gossip, is not tolerated. With this focus on positivity and connection, it is no wonder that we’ve witnessed staff establish meaningful connections with coworkers that turn into impactful, lifelong friendships.
