"I attended SSI last summer (2009) and I was impressed tremendously. I really want to encourage you to keep up the good work for God’s Kingdom. I believe that God has put you in my life to help model the kind of person God wants me to be. I look forward intently to SSI this summer!"

"I have come to the conclusion that the reason why 2/3 of those who grow up in the church abandon it is because their faith was not made real to them. In my own case, my motivation to live the way a Christian is supposed to did not come until my faith was made real, even though I had all the "head-knowledge" before then.
SSI was an important part of that process."

"One of the truths I learned at SSI that sticks with me to this day: the mind justifies whatever the heart desires. This stresses the importance of having the heart of Christ."

"My English teacher recommended that I attend SSI. On the drive to Lansing, I decided that I defiantly didn’t want to go. While listening to one of the speakers I finally understood why I was at SSI. Each lecture seemed to answer a question I had. After SSI I couldn’t wait to go back. It was a week that I didn’t waste. SSI was a good experience, and one that I needed at the time. SSI was important to me as it should be for everyone."

"SSI is awesome. SSI is an experience that I wish every teenager could take advantage of and I’m thankful to God that I was given the opportunity to attend. To those of you reading this who are prospective students, or parents of prospective students: Come to SSI week two (aka THE BEST WEEK) you’ll learn a lot and have a blast while doing it!"

"Because of SSI I have a deeper understanding of both the legislative process and—more importantly—my faith. Walking through the committees and votes at SSI gave me an insider view of the legislative process, and has assisted me in both college and my current position at HSLDA."
