Wyoming Valley Summer Art Programs provide young people with engaging experiences that foster creativity, community, and hands-on learning. Through a range of fine arts and crafts—including fiber arts, ceramics, nature crafts, plant-based dyeing, painting, and more—students will cultivate an appreciation for the arts, culture, and the natural world. By partnering with local creative people, young artists are empowered to explore their own potential while building connections within our community.
We believe in the power of collaboration, imagination, and play, and are committed to offering a supportive, safe, and fun environment where children can thrive. Not only does our program meet the needs of working families, it opens the doors of our iconic Frank Lloyd Wright building to the next generation of makers, dreamers, and doers.

MEET THE TEACHERS
Jennifer Moore-Kerr
Jennifer Moore-Kerr, known in the River Valley as Ms. Jen, is excited to share this summer with your students. Moore-Kerr joined the River Valley District in 2021 as the Coordinator for the After-School Program. She has an MA in Early Childhood Education, has taught in many settings, and is deeply invested in the Driftless region. Raising her family on Greenspirit Farm north of Dodgeville gave Moore-Kerr a deep love of sharing the outdoors and good food with children. The anticipation of unplugging at Wyoming Valley School, while connecting, and relishing summer days with your children brings her energy, excitement, and gratitude. |
Isabel Radtke
Isabel Radtke is thrilled to be back for her second summer at Wyoming Valley School. She holds a BA in K-12 and Special Education and is teaching special education students at Innovative High in Madison. Radtke brings creativity, organization, and empathy to her work— whether it’s finding new ways to help students learn or exploring a fun project. When she’s not teaching, you’ll find her at the Wisconsin River, or drawing, painting, baking, or trying a new craft. She’s all about learning, loving, making, and making students feel inspired, and she can’t wait to share that energy with them this summer. |
What parents say...
Kyrie C.
We are so grateful for the scholarship that allowed our daughter to attend summer camp at Wyoming Valley School. Without it, she would have missed out on what became the highlight of her summer. She fell in love with learning about natural plant dyes and textiles, and she absolutely adored Ms. Isabel. This camp offers unique art classes that aren't available anywhere else in the area, and she's already asking if she can return next year.

Every child should have an opportunity to experience this place. They host unique summer camp experiences every year which my children are excited to attend. This year they did an upcycled clothing camp which ended in a fashion show.

Not just a tourist attraction. They have summer classes for kids and music events. I've visited there to watch plays that my grandkids performed in. And to pick them up from classes they attended. Great little place.

My kids have had the pleasure of attending the Wyoming Valley summer art programs every single year and it's truly an unforgettable experience and a staple of their summers. The curriculum is dynamic and fully integrated, reflecting Frank Lloyd Wright's vision for a total learning environment. The kids had the opportunity to not only learn about architecture and construction but also engage in cooking, music, art, fashion, theatre, and dance. It is amazing to see how quickly the kids bonded and became a close-knit group. Staff are knowledgeable, approachable, and communicate effectively. The location itself was stunning, with Frank Lloyd Wright's Wyoming Valley School nestled among the beautiful natural surroundings. The kids love spending time outside during their breaks I highly recommend the Wyoming Valley summer art programs to anyone looking for a unique and holistic learning experience.
