LEAD Instructor Form

Instructors and Crew members are expected to abide by our camp policies found under the following tabs on the LEAD webpage. This is the standard of behavior for our students, and all crew members should model that behavior.

• Honor Code
• LEAD Campus Policies
• LEAD Dress Code

Please be aware of our dress code and pack accordingly as all Instructors and Crew follow the same dress code as the campers. Only SSI staff members will initiate disciplinary actions with campers. No other crew members should assume that responsibility. This includes asking campers to change if they are out of dress code.

SSI requires that its employees subscribe to its Statement of Faith and Lifestyle Statement, which can be found below. We ask that all LEAD crew also subscribe to them.

Statement of Faith

• The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. 
• There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
• The Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God and the Savior of all humanity, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life culminating in His vicarious and atoning death through His blood, bodily resurrection, and His ascension to the right hand of the Father. He will come a second time at the end of this age. 
• Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for salvation, which is by grace, through repentance and faith in what Jesus did on the cross. 
• It is the present ministry of the indwelling Holy Spirit that enables the Christian to live a godly life. 
• There will be a resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. 
• There is a spiritual unity of all true believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Volunteer Lifestyle Statement

• SSI is a non-profit Christian organization representing Jesus Christ. As such, SSI requires its employees/volunteers to be born-again Christians, living their lives as Christian role models (Rom. 10:9-10; I Tim. 4:12; Luke 6:40). Employees/volunteers will conduct themselves in a way that will not raise questions regarding their Christian testimonies. A Christian lifestyle should reflect the biblical perspective of integrity and appropriate personal and family relationships, business conduct, and moral behavior. An employee/volunteer is expected to demonstrate a teachable spirit, an ability to share love for others, a willingness to live contentedly under authority, and a commitment to follow the Matthew 18 principle when an issue arises with fellow employees/volunteers or management. 
• SSI expects employees/volunteers to maintain a lifestyle based on biblical standards of moral conduct. Moral misconduct, which violates the bona fide occupational qualification for employees to be Christian role models, includes, but is not limited to drunkenness, premarital sex, adultery, and homosexual behavior or any other violation of the unique roles of male and female (Rom. 1:21-27; I Cor. 6:9-20). SSI believes that biblical marriage is limited to a covenant relationship between a man and a woman, and we believe in the sanctity of human life from conception through natural death. 
• SSI employees/volunteers will maintain a lifestyle based on biblical standards of conduct. Failure to do so may result in a reprimand or, in some cases, dismissal. It is the goal of SSI that each employee/volunteer will have a lifestyle where “…He might have the pre-eminence.” Col. 1:18
