Summer camps are led by practicing artists, designers, and animators, and teaching artists are described as supportive mentors. The leadership team includes Julia Bertussi, a multimedia artist and educator with a BA in Art Education from Ithaca College; Jaime Morrow, an artist and educator with a BFA in Illustration from the University of Hartford and over a decade of art teaching experience; and Dora Tomulic, who holds an MA in Fine Art from the Academy of Fine Art of the University of Zagreb, Croatia, and has experience as an art director in advertising, founder of a design school, editor of a monograph, contributing author to a book, and practicing artist.

The program offers Art Shuffle classes with approximately two-week project cycles, Art Shuffle® month-long projects in drawing, painting, and mixed media, and Art Shuffle® Plus, which is described as a dynamic studio experience guided by creative goals and personal interests. Focus classes provide longer-format projects using specialty materials, and open studio classes are available for intermediate to advanced students with instructor guidance and group critique. One River School describes its studios as warm, inclusive spaces for all skill levels, with a social, creative community environment, a wide range of class times, and unlimited makeup options.

Lesson plans draw inspiration from contemporary artists, and projects are described as age-appropriate, engaging, and reflective of the world around students. The program includes a Summer Club option with a more flexible class experience, complimentary open studio time for Summer Club members, special summer-only projects and materials, exclusive perks and swag for members, and bring-a-friend opportunities. One River School states that it has transformed the summer camp experience by developing creative camps and that its approach empowers adults of all skill levels to reignite their creative journey with confidence.
