Traveler Camp is for participants who have aged out of traditional day camps and is described as offering more freedom and adventure under supervision, with daily outings in the surrounding suburbs, three field trips, one local adventure day, and one local day of service each week, plus a pool day on Fridays at Riverside-Brookfield High School. Brains & Games combines summer camp with a summer school twist, with mornings focused on academics and afternoons on typical camp activities and group play, along with weekly walking field trips to the Brookfield Zoo, weekly swimming at Riverside Brookfield School’s indoor pool, and bus transportation for campers using Before and After Care. Budding Brookies emphasizes creativity and imagination, includes enclosed outdoor play areas and on-site water days, and requires campers to be toilet trained and independent in the bathroom.

For Camp Kiwanis, Camp GROSS, and Traveler Camp, campers are asked to bring a morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, water bottle, backpack, hat, and sunscreen each day. For Budding Brookies, campers should bring a water bottle, sunscreen, and lunch daily, and on certain days wear swim gear and bring a towel as indicated by the activity calendar and parent notes. All emergency forms, waivers, and health information are completed electronically through the ePACT platform, and forms must be completed before a camper can attend camp.

Traveler Camp staff are CPR and First Aid certified and have over 40 hours of training in areas that include safety procedures, age development, activity planning, social media monitoring, and keeping campers in line. Brains & Games is led by qualified educators. The ePACT system used by the camps is described as a secure, compliant platform with high encryption levels, and it is used to collect, manage, and access health and emergency information, waivers, consent forms, and daily attendance, with features that include limiting and tracking access to information and contactless sign-in and sign-out procedures.
