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 and street hockey courts, 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. Safety and fun are our main priorities - sign up today!
A mental health counselor from the Stoughton Youth Commission will be present weekly on site.
