For generations, Camp Half-Blood had only twelve cabins—one for each major Olympian deity. The odd-numbered cabins were dedicated to the Olympic gods, the even ones to the Olympic goddesses—except for Cabin Twelve, which Dionysus took over when Hestia gave him her seat on the Council of Olympus, but that’s another story. Anyway, after the Titan War, my kindhearted boyfriend, Percy, made the Olympians promise that all demigods, not just the kids of the major twelve, would have cabins of their own. Which is just like Percy: doing something impulsive and compassionate, and making my life difficult in the process. See, I’m the camp’s resident architect, which meant that the task of designing all those new cabins fell to me. Don’t get me wrong. I supported Percy’s plan one hundred percent. But after building units thirteen through sixteen—Hades, Iris, Hypnos, and Nemesis—the cabin area started to look cramped. I met with Chiron to discuss the problem. “Space,” I told him, “could be an issue.” “Any ideas?” Chiron asked. I brainstormed aloud: “We build upward, combine new cabins into one tall complex. Demigods associated with the earth on lower levels, with the sky on top.” Chiron shook his head. “Intriguing idea, but experience has shown me that demigods from different families don’t cohabitate well.” “Okay, scratch that.” I pointed at the nearby forest. “What about tree houses? Enclosed platforms, elevated walkways, ladders, rope swings—” Chiron cut me off. “The dryads wouldn’t go for it. And imagine what would happen if a demigod took to sleepwalking.” “Caves?” “Only one available, and Apollo has claimed it for his Oracle.” “Houseboats?” “Sleepwalking again, plus the naiads would nix it. Also, we need the lake for trireme practice.” 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. There are straw dummies in Greek armor scattered around the room and training swords. Apollo receives his old godly bow as a gift from Camp Jupiter, Meg receives seeds, and they set off to New York after receiving the final prophecy from Ella and Tyson; they realize it is in terza rima form and they have to find more stanzas in the east. They go in hopes of being reunited with their friends from Camp Half-Blood. [13] The Tower Of Nero [ edit ]

So far, anyway,” said Connor Stoll. He leaned forward, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Where, exactly, did you see this cinematic masterpiece?” The Geysers are located in the Forest and they are home to two Palikoi (geyser spirits and guardians of sacred oaths), Pete and Paulie.

This was a fun and informative guide to Camp Half-Blood! I enjoyed reading the short stories about the characters, the history, and the parts of the camp. It was also nice seeing scenes of Apollo's original orientation film for new campers. There were some hilarious moments in this book such as the scene with Nico:

Camp Half-Blood is always in the East because in ancient times, the Greeks always existed in the Eastern part of the Roman empire. Dionysus' Cabin (#12) has its roof and walls lined with grapevines. It is unknown what it looks like on the inside.Fighting raged through the night. The demigods battled bravely and with skill, destroying monsters with swords, spears, arrows, and other weapons. But we were far outnumbered. I feared Camp Half-Blood was doomed. Half-Blood Hill is where Thalia's Tree is located. It is also one of the hills surrounding Camp Half-Blood. Sherman may be named after William Sherman, the Civil War general that burnt down the city of Atlanta on September 2nd, 1864. William is also a son of Ares. So, demigod, chances are you’re making your way to camp with your satyr guide. Or maybe you’ve already arrived and are reading this with the hope that it’ll calm your nerves. I’d say there’s a fifty-fifty chance of that happening.
