How is Spring Island different than any other premier private club?

Ask any employee and theyll likely tell you: Spring Island is simply indescribable. Why? You might find a clue in the
PHILOSOPHY AND CORE VALUES to which all new members subscribe before purchasing on Spring Island.
Working for and alongside an island of people who place these values in their top priority translates into an extraordinarily genuine and caring work environment.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
A phenomenon of nature, Spring Island has not been spoiled by civilization. For the three centuries that the island has been privately owned, its stewards have helped to preserve, mold and enhance the land with a gentle passion, which is evident everywhere today along the winding sandy roads, in the dense, primordial Live Oak Forest, in the many saltwater and freshwater ponds, and in the historic tabby ruins of the magnificent Edwards Mansion.

The mission of Spring Island residents is to preserve the natural surroundings that we have inherited so that we might take pleasure in the peaceful enjoyment of its marshes, forest and fields. The restorative sense of solitude is furthered by the studied decision to set aside more than one-third of our maritime forest as a nature preserve, and permit less than 400 families to share the experience of
Spring Island. Everything that is natural and beautiful about the island will be maintained, and human presence will always by subtle and unassuming.

Spring Island will appeal most to those who come not to be seen, but to behold; they do not seek to be heard by others, but to listen to the special wisdom that only nature and history can impart. And yet, the Spring Island experience is more than just reflective. Golf, tennis, fitness and equestrian facilities have been sensitively woven in to the islands lush tapestry of woods and fields. The tradition of the islands legendary quail hunting has been maintained. And, fishermen and boaters will find on the is- land an abundance of ponds as well as two of Americas cleanest and most beautiful rivers at our shoreline.

As stewards of Spring Island, we recognize our obligation to plan for the preservation of this natural asset into the future.
The programs in place have been designed to ensure that future generations will carry on the philosophy, thus enabling them to enjoy the same unique attributes that first drew founding members here.

OUR CORE VALUES
Spring Island is an active, intellectually-stimulating community where close friends enjoy each other and top tier amenities, surrounded by the richness of nature. We pride ourselves on the unique balance we have created. We are committed to sustaining this special place. With this in mind, Spring Island has identified the following Core Values for use as a guide when consider- ing future actions:

Stewardship: to protect and conserve Spring Islands unique sense of place, its natural beauty, and historical heritage.
Community: to sustain a close-knit, vibrant, private community whose members place a high priority on building lifelong friendships.
Enrichment: to support experiential and educational programs, reflecting our communitys ongoing interests in recreational, cultural, intellectual, environmental and artistic enrichment.
Volunteerism: to embrace both on-island and off-island volunteer initiatives.
Respect: to foster a culture that values, appreciates, and respects our members, guests, staff and environment.
Transparency: to openly and honestly communicate and collaborate with our members and employees.
Excellence: to offer top tier service and amenities to our members.
Family: to promote multigenerational activities, our hallmark since the communitys inception.

What if Im not a nature lover?
You may not need to love nature to enjoy working on Spring Island, but you do need to love people. Spring Island attracts a special type of people: members, guests, and staff who seem to care just a little more outside of themselves, who place high values in community, humility, and support. Our employees find that it is a pleasure to work for folks who care about the staff family, too.

Spring Island seems to be in the middle of nowhere. How long is the commute?
The town of Okatie, SC is right in the center of the crossroads of lots of impressive development in Beaufort county. Employees on Spring
Island drive from Beaufort, Hilton Head, Bluffton, Savannah, Ridgeland, and beyond. The average commute is 35 minutes, mostly on highways that see minimal traffic. And the drive onto the island takes you across the beautiful marshlands of the Lowcountry that ready your senses for the day ahead, and help you take a deep breath on the ride home.
