Lorraine --

   Sea Camp in Florida, Catalina Island Marine Institute (CIMI) in Southern
California, and the Virgin Islands Environmental Resource Station (VIERS),
through Clean Islands International on St.John all run programs for kids.
They
do accommodate elementary school kids, but I don't know the specific range
of
ages. There is a marine biologist in your area who also has a young
daughter.
He may be able to provide you with info. on programs in central Georgia. His
name is Dr. Jim Battey and he can be reached at jbattey at uvi.edu. You might
also
contact the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, not far from the Georgia
border.
