SSI – Training Up a New Generation of Leaders

Preparing teenagers to live and defend their faith in the "Real World"

Girls' party at SSI. SSI is an inspirational week of Biblical worldview and leadership training that transforms young minds to see themselves and their future in terms of truth, purpose, and destiny.

The dynamic teaching combined with real-world simulations equips teenagers to distinguish between secular and Biblical approaches to life and motivates them to shine for Christ in their generation without compromising their values.

A Unique Hands-On Program

2008 SSI Senators at Michigan Capitol.SSI's hands-on leadership simulations affirm that the best way to learn is to do it! We strive to encourage students to set high standards for themselves and achieve more with their lives, instill in them a Judeo-Christian worldview, inspire them to become leaders through real-world critical thinking, and transform their minds to think about themselves, their future, and their world in light of God's purpose and plan for their lives.

Life skills such as initiative, leadership, ethics, critical thinking, and teamwork leap off the page for our students. The lessons learned last a lifetime. Students are prepared to defend their faith in high school, college, and the marketplace of ideas through dynamic instruction in topics such as:

  • Responsible Christian Citizenship
  • America's Judeo-Christian Heritage
  • Being Ambassadors for Christ
  • Comparative Worldviews
  • Creation vs. Evolution
  • Destiny & Purpose
  • Debate & Communications

Teens Say:

2008 SSI newspaper reporters present their most recent work at Capitol lawn lunch break."I hate to admit it, but before I knew it, I was enjoying myself." - 2008 Alum

"The atmosphere that pervaded everything was flowing with optimism and consumed with Christ. I was touched and impressed by the speakers and teachers. The issues they discussed and the manner in which they were presented inspired me to dedicate my entire life to Christ. After it was all over, I realized that the time I had spent there had dramatically altered my outlook on life, and stretched out a path down which I know God wants me to follow." - Chandler K., age 18

Parents Say:

Kurt Cullison, Director of Michigan Youth Alive, speaks to SSI students."It is the best money you've ever or ever will spend on an away-from-home camp. You can trust that your child will be 100% safe. The focus at this "camp" is not politics as much as it is using your one, individual life for the kingdom of God." - John H., SSI Parent

"If you want your child to be challenged to have a life of purpose and destiny and excited about making a difference, SSI is great." - SSI Parent
