Traditional two week sessions divide campers into sections (Junior, Intermediate, and Senior) then into cabins according to gender and age. Offering kids very much of a "choose your own experience", campers in the program pre select two activities of personal interest, and in doing so, shape their typical day at Cooch. Two others will be selected once the campers arrive to allow each camper the opportunity to participate in programs with their new found friends. Each session offers a mix of activities based on cabins, sections, teams, and full camp group divisions. Intermediate and Senior campers are also given the option when registering to participate in a one or two day out-trip (based on section). The two week program finishes with a two day Cooch Games competition where campers are divided by family into one of Cedar, Pine, Spruce or Birch teams in an epic Olympic activity.
