Didn't someone post some microchip training docs once?  Oh yeah:

http://techtrain.microchip.com/masters2003/(c1xuow55dt0yvl3t0zcci245)/
masters2003-CD/classes/701/701_PIC.pdf

I dunno whether you're supposed to use it, but it looked pretty
reasonable last time I checked.  You might see whether microchip is
willing to allow you to use it, or perhaps even has a more handout-like
document to go with it...

there does seem to be a lot more at:
http://techtrain.microchip.com/masters2003/(jd3g1drdsjvjqe550svzio55)/
masters2003-CD/index.htm

The Peatman book looks promising as well, though perhaps too advanced
for your target audience (described as a "senior level" class.  OTOH,
"senior level" is about when you stop learning heavy math and start
having fun, so maybe it'd be OK...)
