I think that could be an interesting series of classes. However, after
an unfortunate incident where a live pig was not cleanly killed and
ended up being chased through various camps, the Coopers made a rule
that prohibited onsite butchering. With the density of campsites at
Pennsic, this probably makes sense. I don't know if you could get a
waiver or not. 

Perhaps you could bring in the dead animal with just enough work done
to be safe?

I don't want my camp to be downwind however when you start rendering
or doing the tanning. :-)
