Golf Ball Hunt at the Former Bay Club
Date: Saturday, May 10, 2025
Time: 1:30pm to 3:30pm
Meeting point: Former Bay Club Complex parking lot
Address: 9122 Libertytown Rd in Berlin
Last fall, the Bay Club Complex, a former golf course, opened to the public. The 672-acre property just outside of Berlin became a haven for wildlife after the golf course closed in 2019. It is now owned by the MD Forest Service, which is partnering with Lower Shore Land Trust to develop trails and a large pollinator meadow. In the meantime, there are still hundreds or possibly thousands of lost golf balls on the property. Let’s use our treasure hunting skills to find and collect the lost golf balls!​
Paddling on the Upper Pocomoke River
Date: Saturday, June 7, 2025

Group 3 - 12:30pm to 2pm
​
Meeting point: Bridge on Porters Crossing Rd in Snow Hill, MD
Address: Porters Crossing Rd, Snow Hill, MD
Paddling on the upper part of the Pocomoke River feels like going through a jungle of huge Bald Cypress trees, waterlilies, and tangled vines. This part of the river is home to beavers, otters, and lots of turtles and birds. The launch area is a smooth riverbank which makes it easy to climb in and out of the boats. We will provide kayaks, a canoe, and life vests. No paddling experience is needed. Please wear water shoes and clothes that may get wet (water dripping off paddles!) and bring bug spray, sunscreen, a hat, and water. Please note that this event is free for Coast Kids members and costs $15 per person for non-members.​
