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 on 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). The only goddess who is known not to have a cabin is Hestia, who declined the offer.

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, Hebe, Eris, Hypnos and many other minor gods were constructed. There are now in total 20 cabins. Where the first 12 made a U shape with the addition of 8 more cabins it now makes an omega shape. It is presumed that they are still making cabins for the other gods and goddesses.
 * Counselor: Lou Ellen

Cabin Placement

 * It should be noted that Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, has a fire pit in the mess hall. Percy sees the goddess on his first day at camp, but doesn't really notice her as he thought she was a nymph.
 * Cabins on the left side are odd numbers and cabins on the right side are even numbers (male odd & female even- Dionysus #12 would be a female cabin, but Hestia gave her throne up for him this is right).
 * The cabins are in order from where their parent sits on the Olympian council.
 * In the movie version, the cabins are not in the same position or same form.

Description of the cabins
The cabins in Camp Half-Blood reflect the symbols and domains of their patron (or matron) Olympian. So far...


 * Zeus' cabin (#1) is described as a marble building looking like a mausoleum, with heavy columns. The big bronze double doors are polished in such a way to provide a 'holographic' effect of lightning bolts passing across. Inside: like a temple with a fluctuating mosaic ceiling and several bronze braziers. A statue of Zeus in traditional Greek clothes is centered in the room.
 * Hera's cabin (#2) is a marble, formal-looking building, graceful with slim columns and designs of peacock feathers and pomegranates. It is done in a similar way to Zeus' cabin. Inside: like a temple with a large statue of Hera in the center. There are no furniture inside due to no one will ever stay in that cabin.
 * Poseidon's cabin (#3) is a long, low building with windows facing the ocean, and looking like it's made of rough seastone, with pieces of coral at the end of the cabin and a seashell and a trident over the door. Percy described its smell to be same as the cabin at Montauk where his mother and father met. Inside: walls made of abalone with rows of neat bunks, and a salt water fountain (until it was destroyed by Percy). There is also a sort of mobile of hippocampi or "fish-ponies" as Tyson says.
 * Demeter's cabin (#4) is covered in flowers and tomato plants grow on the walls and doorway. It has a real grass roof. Inside, the floors are made out of grass instead of wood or concrete. There is a small garden in the middle where Demeter's children can plant their plants. Small trees line the wall, and the bunks are built into the trees.
 * Ares' cabin (#5) is inexpertly painted red and has a large boar's head over the door with barbed wire on the roof. Inside: unknown but Annabeth mentioned it did have land mines.
 * Athena's cabin (#6) is a gray building with silver curtains and a design of an owl over the door. Inside: most of the space is devoted to maps and various projects, with all the bunks shoved together against one wall, "as if sleep was not important". Percy described it as a "braniac's workshop."
 * Apollo's cabin (#7) seems to be made of solid gold and made to glow during the daytime - it's hard to tell if the gold is reflecting light or generating it. Inside: unknown
 * Artemis' cabin (#8) is an all silver building with silver curtains, similar to the outfit of the Hunters. Glows silver during nighttime, but looks like a normal cabin in the day. Inside: unknown
 * Hephaestus' cabin (#9) looks like a small factory, with brick and with smokestacks like the forges. Inside: "Steel bunks were folded against the walls like high-tech Murphy beds. Each had a digital control panel, blinking LED lights, glowing gems, and interlocking gears. A fire pole comes down from the second floor. A circular staircase led down into some kind of basement. The walls were lined with every kind of power tool imaginable, plus a huge assortment of weaponry. A large workbench overflowed with scrap metal---screws, bolts, washers, nails, rivets, and a million other machine parts."
 * Aphrodite's cabin (#10) is a wooden cabin with a painted blue roof, checkerboard floors and smells heavily of designer perfume. Piper describes it as "a giant Barbie house where supermodels go to die." Inside: "It is described as a life-size dollhouse with pink walls and white window trim. The lace curtains are pastel blue and green which of course matched the sheets and feather comforters on all the beds. The guys had one row of bunks separated by a curtain, but their section of the cabin was just as neat and orderly as the girls'. Every camper had a wooden camp chest at the foot of their bunk with their name painted on it. The only other bit of individualism was how the campers had decorated their private bunk spaces. Each had slightly different pictures tacked up of whatever celebrities they thought were hot. A few had personal photos, too, but most were actors or singers or whatever.
 * Hermes' cabin (#11) has peeling brown paint and a caduceus over the door. It is probably in such bad shape because it was so over-populated. Once more demigods started getting claimed and the minor gods' cabins were built, conditions likely improved. Inside: crowded with bunks and sleeping bags. almost no place on floor. Possibly improved.
 * Dionysus' cabin (#12) has its roof and walls lined with grape vines. Inside: unknown
 * Hades' cabin (#13) is a windowless cabin made of solid obsidian, with heavy columns and torches that burn green Greek fire twenty-four hours a day. Inside: unknown
 * Iris's Cabin (#14) The children of Iris stay here.
 * Hypnos' cabin (#15) Described by Jason as an old-fashioned prairie house. It has mud thatched walls and rush roof. Red poppies over the door entrance. Inside: soft violin music plays, warm beds with soft feather pillows, and a branch from a poplar tree dipped in water from the River Lethe (the symbol of Hypnos).
 * Tyche's Cabin (#19) the Goddess of fortune's children reside here
 * Hecate's Cabin (#20) looks normal but is built from blocks of stone with magic inscriptions written on them. When the blocks are dropped, they explode or turn anyone within a mile radius into trees.

Hermes' Acceptance Policy
Hermes' cabin has an acceptance policy stating that any undetermined camper can stay inside. Therefore, Half-bloods whose immortal parent has not claimed them or whose immortal parent is a minor god would stay in the Hermes cabin. Percy Jackson briefly stayed in the Hermes cabin.

After the minor cabins were built, it is assumed that the policy then only covered the unclaimed. All new campers stay in the Hermes cabin until they are claimed by their immortal parent.

Trivia

 * The Cabin placement used to be shaped into a inverted 'U' shape before the construction of the cabins for the minor gods and goddesses of Olympus. the cabins were described in The Lost Hero was shaped like an Omega after the construction.
