Riordan Wiki:Featured Articles/Camp Half-Blood

"Keeping Young Heroes Safe from Harm (Mostly) For Over Three Millennia" The Camp Half-Blood is a secret demigod training camp located on Long Island. It is directed by Dionysus (who is called "Mr. D") and Chiron the centaur. It is also the Greek equivalent/counterpart of Camp Jupiter.

The camp has magical borders which are enforced by the Golden Fleece, which was found and discovered by the satyr Grover, the Cyclops Tyson, and demigods Percy Jackson, Clarisse La Rue, and Annabeth Chase. Taken from Polyphemus's island it was placed on Thalia's pine tree, ensuring that no monsters could gain access to the camp. In earlier years it was a pine tree made from Thalia, a daughter of Zeus. After almost being killed by monsters, Zeus felt sorry for her and turned her into a pine tree, making it so she wouldn't die. Her tree became the official borders of Camp Half-Blood. The Fleece stayed on the tree, guarded by a dragon (Peleus), protecting the camp.

The camp is described as being the only safe haven for half-bloods, although in The Lost Hero it is revealed that there is a camp for Roman demigods which is revealed in The Son of Neptune to be called Camp Jupiter.(more...)
