GHA Bloggers of the Day:

What was your favorite part of the travel day yesterday?

"Without a doubt, it was Tropic Reservoir! After a scorching hike, it was SO nice to get drenched! The water was ice cold, but it felt SO good! We all had a blast as soon as the water fight started. I really didn't planon getting completely soaked, But NO ONE was safe as soon as you touched the water! It was SO SO SO fun! Have I said 'SO' enough yet? We had the best time, and I would love to go there again!"
-Sara Lafollette, participant

What has been the biggest surprise of GHA so far?

"Finding out my counselor, Cody Smith, was engaged. He emailed us about hte most random things, like an impromptu trip, or roaching [rafting on a couch], but he didn't tell us he was engaged."
-Natalie Hatch, participant

"The biggest surprise is how fun and easy the assignments are. The speakers not only open us up to new views, opinions and ideas, but are actually fun to listen to. The coolest thing is how easy it is to meet good people who instantly become friends."
-Spencer Hurd, participant

"The biggest surprise of this whole shindig is the fact it is so easy to find friends. You just have to talk to someone and Bam!"
-Cameron, participant
