Attention New Jersey & Pennsylvania Art Teachers

Founded in 1970, Peters Valley is located within the scenic, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area  along the Delaware River.  We are in the northwest corner of New  Jersey, where NY, NJ & PA meet.  The campus is a rural setting with a wooded landscape, just 2 hours north  of Philadelphia and only 60 miles northwest of NYC. Public Transportation from NYC is available.

Peters Valley is located in the picturesque Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. You could not feel further removed from the bustle of the everyday world and yet Peters Valley is located but a short drive from New York and other major East Coast cities. The air is clean, the atmosphere serene, the art invigorating.

Consider taking a mini-educational vacation with us this summer!
