Please add to this post - I know there's a lot of parents out there.
Here's a few ideas, but I know there's a lot more ideas for kids - both locals and visitors.
I'm thinking more of tours, classes, events, programs - rather than the obvious things like - waterparks, go to the beach, the pool, movies and concerts at Seaside or Baytowne, biking, etc.
A wilderness tour of bay and rivers by motorboat would be fun for all:

Contact Yellowfin in Grayton for fishing, kayak and canoe guides, surfing lessons etc. They have classes for kids sometimes or will do it one on one.

Also on that page is "Fishing with Bob" - he's great with kids.
Eden State Gardens and some of the other parks have guided tours and nature classes.

Seaside has a kids' camp in the summer open to all, and WaterColor offers a camp for owners and guests. These are daytime programs (not extended summer-camp type programs) with all kinds of activities for pre-teens.
