We are excited to announce the details for the 2024 Open Playground season. We have so many great activities and games planned, theme days, crafts, sports and more! 

Open Playground will run from 7/1/2024-8/9/2024 (closed 7/4 and 7/5)  from 8:30 am-2:30 pm. Open Playground participants may separately register for After Playground for extended care from 2:30-4 pm daily. You can sign up weekly or for the whole summer. DISCOUNTS ARE SHOWN AT THE END OF CHECKOUT. 

PLEASE NOTE: There are NO REFUNDS for Open Playground within 24 business hours of the start of the program (7/1). Any approved cancellations prior to this date resulting in a refund will incur a 5% cancellation fee.

If you are a part of the Stoughton Public Schools Summer program and are looking for additional care, please sign up for KNIGHTS OF SUMMER. After Playground is exclusively for Open Playground participants in need of extended hours and does not include any transportation from the school program. 

Field trips are pay-as-you-go add ons and are not required- there is a normal day at the South School for those who do not attend the field trips. Some field trips are age restricted.

Children should come each day wearing sunscreen and sneakers, and pack a nut-free snack, lunch, water, and extra sunscreen. There will also be days when children are asked to wear their bathing suit to camp and bring a towel as well as sandals/change of shoes. 

Open Playground embraces and encourages the idea of free play in a supervised environment. The South School boasts a unique campus giving us access to basketball, a large shaded playground, picnic tables, a large field space and a baseball diamond. Unlike most summer camps, Open Playground does not follow a strictly regimented day-to-day schedule. Instead, our program offers an extensive selection of activities to participate in, including but not limited to organized sports games and tournaments, arts and crafts instruction, special events, themed activities and on-site entertainers. Children get to exercise the freedom of choice in a structured and supervised environment. Our skilled staff are comprised of high school, college, and post-grad counselors, many of whom are teachers or pursuing a degree in education. A mental health counselor from the Stoughton Youth Commission will be present weekly on site as well.

Indoor use of the facilities are for bathroom breaks and in case of inclement weather. Program alerts can be found on www.stoughtonrec.org, email from Stoughton Rec, and the Stoughton Recreation Facebook page 

You MUST read the Open Playground Parent Handbook before you register your child. Please read this over with your child as well. As always, if you have any questions please reach out to us at recreation@stoughton-ma.gov

Early Bird Discount of 15% if you sign up for the entire session from March 14th- April 14th.

There are no transportation or lunch services.


Please note: Refunds or credits will not be issued within 24 business hours of the program start time, and programs will not be pro-rated for missed sessions.

Any approved cancellations resulting in a refund will incur a 5% cancellation fee, unless the cancellation of the program is initiated by the Recreation Department. In the event that the minimum registration requirement is not met, the program will be canceled. In such instances, participants will receive a full refund, and notification of the cancellation will be sent via email.
