Member Club since 1957

The   Skating   Club   of   Wilmington

has been teaching the community to skate since 1965. Our programs encourage a true love of the sport, from Beginner to Advanced; Recreational to Competitive. We offer skating lessons from Preschool to Adult by accomplished professional coaches with excellent Learn-to-Skate Lessons, private Figure Skating Lessons, Synchronized Skating Teams for adults and children, and instructional Ice Hockey programs  to help you join a team. All these programs are offered to the public and club membership is not required although we recommend it if you want less crowded ice times, more skating sessions and discounted session rates.

Here's a way you can help yourself, SCW and Boscovs all at one time! The SCW office has $5 coupons available for sale. SCW gets to keep the $5 for their operating fund and you save up to 25% on a special sale on Tuesday, October 7 (details on coupon). Free refreshments and five $100 shopping sprees per store will be given away also. Get several coupons for friends and family! All Boscov's locations are eligible.

Volunteers Needed!

Volunteers are needed for a number of committees that are lacking members to help spread the work load. Join in the planning and activities that all of us enjoy at SCW and make it an even better club and facility!
