A Few Words from the Campers
-Shayla Nguyen, Mountain View High School
"BLAST was a truly eye-opening experience. Not only did it change my perspective on leadership, but the program also brought me out of my shell and allowed me to create new connections with great people."
-Luke Morgan, Newnan High School
"BLAST is a life-changing camp that transforms your idea of leadership and teaches you the value of self love. No matter what expectations you have going in, BLAST will surpass all of them!"
-Reagan Stephenson, Grayson High School
"My first year of BLAST helped me discover my strengths and weaknesses as a leader. After a year of focused growth and evaluation, I came back for my second year as a new and improved leader. This year, I had a different perspective and was given the opportunity to not only transform myself but also influence others, and for that, I cannot help but to be thankful."
-Maggie Walker, Lambert High School
"BLAST was easily the most incredible leadership experience I've ever had. It helped me break myself down to the most basic level to help me evaluate not only my own personality and methods of leadership but also those qualities pertaining to my peers. If you're an underclassman member of your council, I would absolutely encourage you to experience what the camp has to offer."
-Sam Tupper, Mountain View High School
"The opportunity of attending BLAST was one that I can never forget! Being surrounded by like-minded student leaders who have a call to action of "inspiring others to inspire others," is an experience that truly changes a person. Their initiative of not only making their community a better place but more so theirselves, is nothing short of inspiring."
-Jeremiah de Sesto, Houston County High School
"BLAST was an incredible leadership camp and a great opportunity! I met incredible friends that will last a lifetime and learned new leadership techniques that have improved the way I communicate with others. BLAST had counselors that believed we could change the world and they gave us the tools to follow our dreams. I cannot wait for next year!"
-Charlie McCollough, Camden County High School
"BLAST was absolutely amazing! I had so much fun meeting new people and growing as leaders with them. I can confidently say that BLAST was a life-changing experience thanks to my BLAST family and I would 18381737/10 recommend!!"
-Jazmin Garcia, Grayson High School
"Going into BLAST, I did not realize the life-changing impact it would have on me. The entire weekend, I was surrounded by people who pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me learn more about myself than I ever thought I would. The campers and counselors were both amazing and I can confidently say, as a result, I have made some life-long friends."
-Virali Patel, Houston County High School
