Our New Satellite Campus in Pike County, PA

Peters Valley is embarking on an exciting new chapter: the development of a dedicated satellite campus across the river in Dingmans Ferry, PA. In addition to our current campus in Layton, NJ, this new campus will serve more students, host year-round programs and deepen our impact on local communities and the national craft ecosystem.

Peters Valley is NOT leaving the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Campus! We will continue to offer immersive workshops and residencies at that location.
