Summer Residential Apprenticeships

Apply now for your choice of these Summertime Residential Apprenticeships running June 10th - August 20, 2011 with optional extension to September 10th. Capacity will be limited to 10 students between all the apprenticeships in Summer 2011. Your tuition includes participation in all programs at Wolf Camp throughout the length of your training period, including instruction, camping, facilities, and food. Beyond that, you need not incur any other expense during the summer except for health insurance, which we can help you secure at a very inexpensive rate. Non-Credit Tuition is $2,750 if you apply by September 10, 2010; or $3,000 if you apply by November 1, 2010; or $3,250 if you apply by December 20, 2010; or $3,500 if you apply by March 1st, 2011; or $3,750 if you apply by April 30th, 2011; or $4,000 if you apply by June 5, 2011 if space remains available. You may receive discounts for previous experience, registering additional family members, and referring friends, with your financial contribution bottoming out at a minimum of $2,500. However, a benefit of completing one of our Summertime Residential Apprenticeships is that afterwards, you can attend any of our 2011-2012 THREE SEASONS COOPERATIVE APPRENTICESHIPS for just $2,500 if you register by August 20th, 2011, and future appreticeship choices beyond that at a similar discount. A $500 deposit (fully refundable only if your application is not accepted - otherwise it can only be used as credit toward future programs) is required to hold your spot. Chris Chisholm will be your mentor through this experience, with assistance from Kim and guidance from Seasonal Faculty who will be teaching during the summer. All programs include program development and employment assistance upon graduation. Reserve your spot by applying right away.
