Camp Half-Blood (Greek)

“Keeping Young Heroes Safe from Harm (Mostly) For Over Three Millennia”

Camp Half-Blood is a Demigod protection and training camp located on Long Island, New York. It is led by Dionysus, who calls himself "Mr. D" there, and Chiron the centaur, legendary trainer of heroes. The camp has magical borders enforced by the Golden Fleece (formerly Thalia's tree), which ensure that no monsters gain access to the camp. It is described as being the only safe haven for half-bloods. The half-bloods live in cabins (one for each Olympian), and eat in the Dining Pavilion. There is also an archery field, fencing arena, and lava wall for training. The lava wall, a climbing wall, is described to pour lava out for an “extra challenge”.

Camp Half-Blood is the home to The Big House, where the Oracle of Delphi lives in the attic.

History
Several times has Camp Half-Blood been in danger. Once, Percy Jackson had to go to find the Golden Fleece to heal the tree (inhabited by Thalia's spirit) which was protecting the camp. With the tree poisoned by Luke Castellan, the Golden Fleece was the only help. After Percy retrieved the Fleece, he hung it upon the tree's branched and it healed almost immediately. No one knew this would happen; but it healed so well, Thalia appeared under the tree! Zeus had, before, turned Thalia into the tree protecting the camp, but with the fleece it no longer needed Thalia's spirit.

Cabins
There are twelve cabins in total, one honoring each major god. The cabins include Demeter, Dionysus, Hermes, Ares, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, and Hera. Artemis' cabin is empty, for Artemis has sworn to never marry and/or have children. The cabins honoring Zeus and Poseidon are supposed to be empty, but Percy Jackson occupies this cabin, and Thalia used to occupy Zeus' cabin, before she joined Artemis's Huntresses to prevent her from being the child of the prophecy. After The Last Olympian, the layout of the cabins changed dramatically, due to the deal Percy made with the gods. Now, each minor god and Hades has their own cabin. Also, now each god is obligated to claim their children.
