Isabel Radtke
Isabel Radtke is absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Wyoming Valley Summer Arts Program. Growing up in Spring Green with her four brothers and parents, she has always been quite fond of the arts and the copious opportunities this small town has to offer. Ms. Isabel continuously enjoys finding new ways to be creative and is dedicated to making a positive impact on young minds while doing so.
Ms. Isabel is set to graduate in May with a degree in Special Education & Inclusive Practices. Her licenses include both Birth-12th grade: special education, and K-9th grade: general education. She loves reading, spending time outdoors, crocheting, working out, practicing yoga, drawing, and experimenting in the kitchen with cooking and baking.
With extensive experience working with children, Ms. Isabel is committed to fostering confidence, creativity, kindness, and a life-long love of learning in every young person she encounters. Her goal is not only to create inclusive and creative environments where all students can thrive, but also a space where students can unplug, mess-up, fail, and retry without the fear of perfectionism. Ms. Isabel is beyond grateful for this opportunity and looks forward to connecting with each child and family.

What parents say...
Marcy Kyser
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.
Wid Yarnall
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.
Aron Meudt-Thering
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.
