Groups can pick and choose education programs "a' la carte". For example:

The Estuarium has conducted a program for Elderhostel groups sponsored by Armstrong Atlantic State University out of Savannah, GA.  The half-day learning experience allows participants to:

• Take a guided tour of Port Royal Seafood docks for a look into the world of local watermen

• Become acquainted with the “ins and outs” of commercial shrimping;

• Learn about estuaries—what are they, how they function, and their importance;

• Be introduced to the world between tide cycles and the creatures that in habit this intertidal zone at nearby Sands beach;

• Learn the life cycle of shrimp and observe other estuarine species;

• Hunt for shark’s teeth and fossils or learn to throw a cast net
