If you're looking for an in-person experience, I have done very well by 
Jon Gindick's Harmonica Jam Camp:

   http://www.gindick.com/

I started as a raw beginner a bit less than two years ago, and now play 
every week at a local open mic blues jam -- and am having a wonderful 
time.  While Jam Camp isn't  *just*  for beginners by any means, they 
welcome beginners with open arms there are always several beginners 
there.  You will not be alone.  And it's great fun.
