Quotes from the Day:

"[I am] Very impressed [with GHA]. Unlike other academy's or Boys & Girls State, GHA is so complete and powerful. The counselors are always on top of things, constantly busy; which makes a difference to the participants."

"The best part about GHA is arising from your cardboard mattress and feeling sure all over for no reason."

"It is a little overwhelming. I am having a blast but it is really hard. Hopefully the rewards are great."

"Awesome!!"

"[GHA is] pretty fun, I like all the other kids but the schedule is a little too much; not very relaxing."
