Cabins

The Cabins at Camp Half-Blood each represent one of the twelve Gods. Demigods attending the camp stay in the respective cabin representing their immortal parent. Campers who are not claimed by their Olympian mother or father are placed in Cabin Eleven, the Hermes cabin, until they are claimed (that was the way it was until Percy made his wish with Olympus at the end of The Last Olympian. After that, a new cabin was built for every god or goddesses so that all demigods would be claimed and would not be sent to the Hermes Cabin).


 * Cabin one: Zeus' cabin: Zeus' offspring. (normally empty by oath with an exception for formerly, Thalia, who now resides in Artemis' cabin)
 * Cabin two: Hera's cabin: Hera's offspring. (honorary, since Hera is the goddess of marriage and "doesn't go around having affairs with mortals")
 * Cabin three: Poseidon's cabin: Poseidon's offspring. (normally empty by oath with an exception of Percy Jackson and Tyson). Counselor: Percy
 * Cabin four: Demeter's cabin: Demeter's offspring. Counselor: Katie Gardner
 * Cabin five: Ares' cabin: Ares' offspring. Counselor: Clarisse
 * Cabin six: Athena's cabin: Athena's offspring. Counselor: Annabeth Chase
 * Cabin seven: Apollo's cabin: Apollo's offspring. Counselor: Lee Fletcher (deceased), Michael Yew (missing), succession: unknown
 * Cabin eight: Artemis' cabin: Artemis' offspring (honorary, since Artemis vowed to be a maiden forever), and Artemis's Hunters.
 * Cabin nine: Hephaestus' cabin: Hephaestus' offspring. Counselor: Charles Beckendorf, succession: Jake Mason
 * Cabin ten: Aphrodite's cabin: Aphrodite's offspring. Counselor: Silena Beauregard (deceased), succession unknown
 * Cabin eleven: Hermes' cabin: Hermes' offspring, and unidentified demigods. Counselor: Luke, succeeded by the Stoll Brothers (Travis Stoll and Connor Stoll)
 * Cabin twelve: Dionysus' cabin: Dionysus' offspring. Counselor: Castor (deceased), succession: Pollux
 * Cabin thirteen: Hades' cabin: Hades' offspring. Counselor: Nico Di Angelo

Due to Hestia and Hades' lack of thrones on Mount Olympus, neither had cabins. In addition, after reforms made by Percy Jackson in The Last Olympian, cabins for Hades, Hecate, Nemesis, Iris, Morpheus, Janus, Hebe and many other minor gods were constructed.

Cabin placement

 * It should be noted that Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, has a fire pit in the middle of the cabins. Percy sees the goddess on his first day at camp, but doesn't say "hello" to her not knowing that she was Hestia.
 * Cabins on the left side are odd numbers and cabins on the right side are even numbers (male odd & female even- Dionysus/Hestia #12).
 * The cabins in order from where there parent sits on the Olympian council.
 * The odd numbered cabins are for the gods' children while the even numbered cabins are for the goddess' children.

"Traits" of the cabins
The cabins in Camp Half-Blood reflect the personalities or traits of their patron gods. For example, Zeus's cabin is said to have lightning bolts appear around it and Ares' cabin is red. All cabins have about the same area, a soccer field amount of space, showing that they must be larger than the everyday cabin. All cabins are different, like above, Zeus has lightning bolts on his while Poseidon's looks like his is made from sea stone.

Hermes' Acceptance Policy
Hermes' cabin has an acceptance policy, that any undeclared camper can stay in its area. Therefore, Half-bloods whose immortal parent has not claimed them or whose immortal parent is a minor god, will stay in the Hermes cabin. Percy Jackson once stayed in the Hermes cabin.

After the minor cabins were built, we can safely assume the policy only covers the unclaimed and Hermes kids now. All new campers stay in the Hermes cabin unless they already know who their immortal parent is.
