LEAD Wisconsin is a week-long, true-to-life leadership simulation. Under the direction of experienced professionals from a wide variety of fields, campers are given the unique opportunity to see what a Christian leader faces in the real world. All our campers get Biblical worldview training sessions and engaging discussions on cultural topics.

All our first-time campers must be in the Assembly track where they role-play as representatives and work to pass or fail real bills from the Wisconsin legislature.

Our returning campers, alumni campers, get to choose which advanced track they would like to participate in the week. Some advanced track options are Senate, Media, and Business.

CAMPER CODE OF CONDUCT

The camper signed this form upon registration.
The camper’s signature is required in order to attend LEAD Wisconsin.

LEAD Wisconsin is a premiere biblical worldview and leadership training program for teens. We hope your experience here will be enjoyable, rewarding, and challenging. The instructors, staff, and chaperones are committed to helping you grow as a leader, and they are looking forward to you being here. The development of leadership skills includes taking responsibility for your own life and conduct; and the foundation for all behavior at all times can be summed up in the word respect, in other words, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Please read the following carefully:

“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous…” 1 Peter 3:8

The Bible says that Christians should “think on things that are excellent” and “avoid all appearance of evil.”

• I will maintain the highest moral standards and maintain a clear personal witness through proper conduct and appropriate dress. (See the LEAD Wisconsin Policies and Dress Code for our standards.)
• I will not drink alcoholic beverages, vape, or use tobacco in any form while at LEAD Wisconsin. I will not use any type of illegal substances, use offensive language, etc.

Leadership involves self-discipline, which means accepting personal responsibility to do those things that are expected of you “as unto the Lord.” Christian leadership involves servanthood. Jesus said, “Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant.”

• I will be prompt and attentive in all classes and activities and keep myself, my belongings, and my room neat and clean.
• I will display a servant attitude toward my fellow campers, instructors, staff, chaperones, and Maranatha Baptist University staff.

LEAD Wisconsin is an environment conducive to learning and personal growth and one in which you can make friends and not be distracted by outside influences.

• I will not bring to LEAD Wisconsin anything that would detract from this goal (including but not limited to the items described in the LEAD Wisconsin Policies). Neither will I use the computer or internet inappropriately when doing research.

LEAD Wisconsin is held at Maranatha Baptist University and visits other venues such as the State Capitol. We believe it is important to present a clear testimony for Jesus Christ among our neighbors and in the community.

• I will respect the property, privacy, and rights of others, whether associated or not associated with LEAD Wisconsin.

The Bible commands us to submit to authority. It is our desire that each camper has a teachable spirit and is willing to be cooperative, obedient, and respectful to any person in God-ordained authority.

• I will obey the rules, including those given in the LEAD Wisconsin Policies, and submit to the authority of staff, instructors, and chaperones.

I have read and agree with all of the above. I have also read and agree to abide by the LEAD Wisconsin Policies. I understand that I will be expected to abide by this signed covenant. I further understand that if I choose not to abide by this signed covenant, I will face appropriate consequences, possibly even being asked to leave.
