The GOATCAMP™ Instructors
* The GoatCamp™2016 Intern Program is now accepting applications for a limited number of Interns; interns receive free tuition in exchange for helping with the work at GoatCamp™. If you are interested please send your resume to onioncreek@tennesseemeatgoats.com. We'd like to know a little bit about your experience with goats (or lack thereof) and why you'd like to become an Intern. Persons with no experience with goats are encouraged to attend as paying students; much of the work of an Intern has to do with the operation of GoatCamp™ and not directly with goats. * GoatCamp™2016 is limited to 25 students. * Classroom instruction alternating with hands-on work with Onion Creek Ranch goats. TUITION PER STUDENT - $375.00 Registration Form ONLINE on the GoatCamp™ page at www.tennesseemeatgoats.com. For additional information, contact Suzanne Gasparotto 325-344-5775 or email her at onioncreek@tennesseemeatgoats.com |
