Discovery Camp (6-12 years) 
Every child is different, and the program realizes that some children (or their parents) may not be ready for a full 10-day experience. For this reason, Easter Seals has developed a 5-day program especially for young, first-time campers * Offers a nurturing environment organized with care to provide the support, supervision and structure first time campers require * Has a staff/camper ratio of 1:2 with 3 registered nurses on site * No more than 8 campers per cabin.

GEAR- UP stands for Goals, Empowerment, Attitude, Respect, Understanding and Proud. This program provides a recreation program geared toward young adults. This program is open to young adults between the ages of 19–25 years of age. Participants must be able to assist in directing their own care. The ratio of staff to participants will be 1:3. Nursing staff will be onsite 24 hours a day. This program will be offered as a 6-day session at Woodeden Camp. 
 
Family Camp Program (1-18 years + parent/guardian) 
Family Camp is a 5-day camp for families who have a child with a physical disability between the ages of 1 and 18 years. This camp gives families an opportunity to meet other families, have a family vacation in a wheelchair accessible setting and to become familiar with recreational camping. Families will have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of programs that are geared to various age groups. Families supervise their children while at camp, however supervision is provided during structured scheduled activities by the camp staff.
