July 9-24, 2008
Bozeman, MT

Application Deadline March 24, 2008

Who should apply?

Would you like to discover ways to make your environmental enemies become your environmental friends? Do you enjoy thinking outside the box? Do you need more effective communication skills? Do you like to create win-win situations for the environment? Do you wish you had more business acumen? Do you want to find ways to help antagonistic groups collaborate? Do you want to learn ways to make capitalism work for the environment?

If these ideas intrigue you, and you are an early/mid-career conservation leader with at least three years experience who is:

• eager to learn how markets, contracts, and property rights can be harnessed to improve the environment;
  
• creative, open minded, and in search of new and innovative approaches to environmental quality;
  
• appreciative of the serendipity that can come from working in teams with first-rate peers;
  
• curious about the idea that certain business principles can be put to good use in non-profit organizations/NGOs; and
  
• committed to a career in environmental stewardship,

then we think PERC’s Enviropreneur Camp is a place for you, and we hope you will apply. How to Apply page.

What's in it for you?

• Networking with environmental economists, researchers, and other conservationists that should provide invaluable professional and personal growth.
  
• A $3,000 stipend, room and board in Bozeman, Montana, for two weeks. (You will cover your own travel expenses to and from Bozeman)
  
• The rare opportunity to focus on an environmental project that you are passionate about and formulate it with assistance from academic mentors and business consultants – economists, communication experts, practitioners, and enviropreneurs – who are at your disposal, an extraordinary blend of ivory tower and real world.
  
• A forum and stage where you can lift the bushel basket off your light.
  
• Preference for acceptance in PERC's Enviropreneur-in-Residence program.
