Wicomico County Fall and Winter Programs Now Open

Wicomico County, MD - Wicomico County Recreation and Parks has a lineup of programs and events to help you stay active as the weather turns colder. Some take place indoors and some are outside, and most are open to kids of all ages.

Governors Challenge Collegiate is hosting a free youth basketball clinic on Friday, November 20, 2026, as part of its Youth Day. Davis, Bowen & Friedel, Inc. is sponsoring the clinic, and players from the Salisbury University men's and women's teams will lead the instruction.

The clinic follows the 4 p.m. men's basketball game between Notre Dame of Maryland University and Roanoke College. Several sessions are open to kids in grades K through 8, and families can sign up at www.governorschallenge.org/collegiate/community/youth-clinic.

If you'd like to start Thanksgiving Day on the move, the Turkey Trek 5K takes place Thursday, November 26, 2026, at Pemberton Park. Check-in opens at 7 a.m., and the race begins at 8 a.m.

Pre-registration is open through November 13, 2026. If you miss that window, you can still register on site the morning of the race.

Sensei David Doran teaches karate classes for ages 6 to 18 and up at the Wicomico Civic Center. The classes focus on discipline and building confidence, and new classes start the first week of every month. Registration is open on a rolling basis while space lasts.

Young basketball players can sign up for the Wicomico Youth Basketball League (WYBL). The coed league is open to students in kindergarten through 8th grade and puts its focus on skills and the basics of the game.

WYBL registration is open now and closes December 9, 2026. League play starts January 4, 2027, and runs through late February at Bennett Middle School and the Wicomico Civic Center.

Volleyball players have an option too. The Eastern Shore Elite Volleyball Academy instructional program (ESEVA) gives boys and girls in grades K through 12 a chance to learn the game in a fun setting with no competition, so they can work on their skills and build confidence along the way.

ESEVA sessions meet Tuesday nights at Bennett Middle School from January 5, 2027, through February 9, 2027. Registration is open now through January 4, 2027.

You can register for Recreation and Parks programs online at www.WicomicoRecandParks.org. You can also sign up in person at the Wicomico Civic Center Box Office, which is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
