Aquatic Adventures Academy
The Aquatic Adventures Academy™ program was developed in 2003 to help elementary school children understand the role that water plays in shaping our planet's quality of life. Water is everywhere. In this curriculum students begin to understand water's specific phases and locations in relationship to life and landscape on the planet Earth.
