Half blood

HISTORY

The first six students were brought to Chiron to train by Apollo back in Ancient Greece. Camp Half-Blood started out in Ancient Greece at the foot of Mount Pelion, which was Chiron's home. As it grew in size, he had to move to the base of Mount Olympus, and one day Apollo showed up with a horde of satyrs to help demigods find their way to the training camp. Through the ages, Camp Half-Blood has moved with the gods and the core of Western Civilization. It is a sanctuary for demigods, but before there were magical borders, things were a lot more dangerous.

CAMP TRADITIONS

The camp has several traditions derived from its Greek roots. Winners and victors are given laurel wreaths and paraded around camp. More poignantly, anytime a camper goes on a quest, their siblings/cabin mates weave them a funeral shroud in case their sibling does not survive — if the camper has no siblings, another cabin may volunteer to do it, should they return victorious, they get to burn the shroud. A game of capture the flag is played every Friday from 6:00 (PM) to 9:00 (PM). Whenever the Hunters of Artemis come to the camp, there is a game of capture the flag

CAMP GROUNDS

According to Apollo, each cabin has around six bunk beds each, allowing each cabin to house twelve campers. Hera's cabin is an honorary one as a courtesy to Hera, as she's the queen of the gods, even if she has no demigod offspring. Artemis' cabin is also honorary because she is one of the maiden/virgin goddesses, but does sometimes play host to her Huntresses. The dining pavilion is where the campers eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food served is a diet primary of grapes, cheese, bread, and extra lean, nymph-cut barbecue and you can ask whatever you want to drink

ADRESS

Camp Half-Blood, Half-Blood Hill, Farm Road 3.141, Long Island, New York 11954. The camp is in Montauk, at the end of Long Island. The camp is located on the North Shore of Long Island, while Montauk is located on the South Shore. This makes the camp's true location uncertain. The part of Long Island beach connecting to the camp is invisible to mortals. Monsters and mortals cannot enter, unless permitted from the inside. The address, 3.141, is believed to have originated from the number pi, which is named after the Greek letter.

TRAINING GROUNDS

Armory: This is where the campers get their weapons. It is a big metal shed around the side of Athena's cabin. The lava wall, a climbing wall, is said to pour lava out for an “extra challenge”. If the camper does not get to the top quickly the walls clash together and the camper's clothes are soaked with lava. The Sword Fighting Area is where campers go to duel and practice with different weapons of their choice. It is between the cabins and the Armory. The Archery Field is where Archery classes are taught. The Volleyball Court is the court the demigods go to play volleyball.

MAGICAL LANDMARKS

The Grove of Dodona is a grove of sacred oak trees that can actually speak and sometimes even issued prophecies. The cave of the Oracle is where the current oracle Rachel Elizabeth Dare resides. The cave walls has paintings of her visions to get a better understanding of them. The camp borders are designed to keep mortals, monsters, bad weather and many other things out of the camp. Only campers, satyrs, gods, some mortals and monsters who were given the permission by a camper may enter through the border.

On Long Island, there's a sanctuary for demigods that is completely unknown to mortals. That place is called Camp Half-Blood, and it's home to dozens of demigods from around the nation. The demigods here are not only recovering from the aftermath of a war with the titans but also dealing with the issue of trying to live an average life. At least as average as their lives can be, that is.
