Residency PolicyResidents are considered people who pay property taxes to the

City of Stoughton. Townships, School District, etc. have no bearing on your residency for our purposes.

Youth Programs and Grade LevelMany of our programs for children are broken down by grade

level. Please sign-up your child for the grade they are in when the program is going on. If it is a summer program, please sign them up for the grade level they were in during the spring.

How to Register for a Recreation Program

paper registration form can be found near the end of the guide. Once the paper registration form is filled out, a person can mail it to us or stop by our office.

2. The second way is by going to our online registration site, https://activenet9.active.com/stoughtonrec/. Online registration is fast, simple, and convenient.

for all people. We will make reasonable accommodations to many of our recreation programs so individuals with disabilities can par-ticipate without fundamentally changing the program. Please go to our website at www.cityofstoughton/rec, click on Therapeutic Services.

a combination of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. The court is about half the size of tennis court so the need to run is cut down especially when you play doubles.

Young Rembrandts: The Power of Drawing

At Young Rembrandts we teach drawing, the funda-mental skill of all visual arts. We believe that drawing is a skill that can - and should - be learned by all children. While Young Rembrandts classes are structured and educational, children learn best when they are entertained and engaged. Young Rembrandts combines the best of both worlds - foun-dational art skills in a fun, nurturing environment - that gives your child the academic advantage. New class material each week and each session. All classes will be held at the Stoughton Youth Center. For more information call James at: 608-444-3213 or visit us online: www.youngrembrandts.com
