Camp Half Blood Tour (post TOA)

Cabin 1 (Zeus)

This cabin is empty now

Sometimes it just starts raining inside for no discernable reason

Don’t go inside if you’re afraid of being randomly electrocuted

People still go inside anyways

There’s little memorial shrines for children of Zeus throughout the centuries until now (his children don’t tend to live long and happy lives)

Also people go in on dares to see if they’ll get hit by a randomly manifested bolt of lightning

Cabin 2 (Hera)

It used to be The actual scariest place in camp

Eventually some people did go in to remodel, our former camper Jason drew up some really nice plans (what with Hera being his patron)

Hera is the goddess of marriage and family, the cabin is supposed to be a safe space

There are some demigods she hates who refuse to go in but for the most part the cabin has become more comfortable (blankets and pillows strewn around, books all over)

It’s a nice place to escape crowded cabins (unless Hera personally dislikes you)

Cabin 3 (Poseidon)

Poseidon’s two demigod children, Percy and Tyson, live in California now, but they stay here when they visit

Tyson made it fancier, it has lots of sheild and tridents that he built lining the walls

There’s also a magic Iris message fountain in there and campers are allowed to use it to make calls home when Percy’s gone

Cabin 4 (Demeter)

The plants are taking over

Honestly it’s just as much of a home to assorted nymphs trying to keep out of monster infested woods as it is to Demeter’s children

The campers here are in charge of the strawberry fields and therefore money

There’s lots of ideas for strawberry-related products or new breeds of strawberries strewn around

Also tons of advertizing ideas and financial plans (most of which involve adding more farmland)

There’s always at least one camper arguing that camp should switch it’s cash crop to rhubarbs or something because that’s obviouly the superior plant

The floorboards, bedposts, and doors all have plants growing out of them

Cabin 5 (Ares)

It’s so well defended no one other than the children of Ares have ever gotten in

Oh my gods is that a land mine?!

Let’s move on

Cabin 6 (Athena)

Look, just because Athena’s kids are smart, that doesn’t mean they’re actually organized

They cooperate very well to stow everything away for Cabin checks and they always win, but at any other time the entire cabin is covered in papers and opened books

If there’s no actual battle happening to strategize for, they’ll just make plans for every theoretically possible scenerio

They also read and reread Greek mythology constantly so they can recognize monsters

They’re a very helpful group to talk to before a quest

Cabin 7 (Apollo)

It’s always ready to be converted to a hospital within 30 seconds of notice

Not as flashy as the Ares Cabin, but it’s actually the best foritifued place in camp when it needs to be

Listen, you do NOT want your foes to be able to get into your hospital

They’ve recently also started a therapy wing, a lot of campers really need someone to talk to at times, and they’re allowed to go to the hospital when they need it

The campers also never have any rest, the cabin is constantly expanding because 1) Apollo is a hoe and has way too many demigod children and 2) there’s always someone who was injured because they fell off a pegasus or got burnt by the climbing wall

This is also the music cabin, but they eventually had to build a seperate (soundproof) practice room because the hospital patients did not appreciate being woken up by the bagpipes at 2am

Also the campers all wake at at like 5am and often serenade the entire camp so be prepared for that

Cabin 8 (Artemis)

It’s also usually empty, but the hunters of Artemis stay here when they’re at camp

The walls are painted with trees and wolves, it’s really pretty

But there’s not much that’s actually functional inside because the hunters are so good at bringing their camp with them that there’s not much they would need

There is a huge stock of arrows though, just in case

Cabin 9 (Hephaestus)

You can go in, and it’ll probably be fun, but there’s no guarentee you’ll ever come out

There’s so many projects going on at any given time

At this point, there’s a safety goggles dispenser as you walk in the door, because sparks and scraps of metal are flying constantly

Are they supposed to be keeping their projects in the bunker or workshop? Yes. Does that stop them from “just tinkering on this one project for a second?” No.

If you break a weapon or sacred object, this is the place to go. One of the campers will literaly take it from your hands and start hammering at it before you can even explain what’s wrong.

Cabin 10 (Aphrodite)

Has become the official relationship advice cabin

Do you need help talking to someone you have a crush on? Do you want to know if your crush likes you back? Do you need to eat an unhealthy amount of chocolate? Are you frustrated that your friends won’t realize that they like each other already?

This is the place for you

They also have a collection of retro camp half blood shirts throughout the years if that’s your thing

And they know all the celebrity gossip outside of camp, they’ve replaced the internet

Cabin 11 (Hermes)

You know how the Aphrodite cabin has celebrity gossip? Hermes has the memes.

Honestly if you really want internet access they’d probably be willing to rig something up for you, even if it does attract monsters

It’s become less and less crowded as the additional cabins are built and demigods are claimed

Finally got remodelled to have enough bunks that no one is sleeping on the floor

Except for the people who want to sleep on the floor

You personal items are not safe here, trust no one

Also do not play any games involving dice against the Hermes kids, they will win and you will jot be able to figure out how

Cabin 12 (Dionysus)

Dionysus doesn’t actually have many demigod kids (he’s also very attached to his wife Ariadne) so the cabin is surprisingly unoccupied a lot of the time

That’s not the same thing as empty though

Dionysus is the god of transgendered people, so his cabin has become the official LGBTQ+ center

There are pride flags EVERYWHERE

Also there was a moonshine rig made by some Hermes and Demeter kids a while ago but that’s not important shh

Other cabins

We’ve been over the original twelve cabins, but they’re far from everything

Starting two years ago, we’ve been trying to expand the cabins, and work has gone quickly

Annabeth, the previous Athena head counselor, started drawing up plans first, then the mantle was taken up by Jason, son of Zeus, and now plans are made by a committee of head counselors

There’s not enought time to hit every cabin on our tour, but here’s a few highlights:

Cabin 13 (Hades) - sometimes you’ll see zombies coming out of this cabin, don’t worry, that’s normal, they’re supposed to be here

Cabin 20 (Hecate) - the place to go if you want to learn more about magic or the mist. Just be warned, the campers probably won’t steal your cash, but they’re not against taking eyebrows or toenails

Cabin 23 (Hestia) - the safest and comfiest place in CHB, but it only appears if you really need it. Campers frequently argue sbout whether or not it’s actually real.

Cabin 26 (Kymopoleia) - no demigod children live here, but make sure you stop by to pray for camp to not be destroyed in a hurricane every once in a while. This is also the first cabin that was built based on our past camper Jason Grace’s plans

Cabin 34 (the muses) - our most recently built cabin, although more are planned out every day. This is the place to go for help if you’re in tears because of writers block.

That wraps up the cabins section of our tour, check in next time to see the pavilion and training grounds

The Demeter kids are the ones who run the strawberry fields, AKA Camp Half Blood’s only source of income, and I’m therefore convinced that they’re the holder of the only braincell and constantly exasperated with the rest of the campers.

Just imagine:

“Hey so maybe we should buy some more safety gear just in case the force field falls, reinforce the camp... no? We need more gemstone engraved swords to sit in a shed?”

“I know that we need to buy more medical supplies, I’m just saying, maybe we wouldn’t need so much if we didn’t have a climbing wall with literal LAVA that we encouraged our campers to climb”

(Also you may be thinking that Meg is the exception to this rule, but you would be wrong. She may be absolutely crazy and reckless at times, but if anyone else is acting that way she WILL call them out immediately)

Cabin 4 Things:

Waking up trapped and covered in vines because your siblings befriended them and now they won’t leave your bunk, trying to get upset, and ending up playing Uno with said vines before dinnertime

Feeling really uncomfortable about archery because “listen, this arrow was alive at one point” and then people making fun of you for it for eternity

“Eating plants is different okay, nobody died so I could eat this apple, have you ever taken a science class?”

That was a trick question, nobody at camp has ever taken a science class

I’m serious, one time I got into an argument with a Hephaestus camper who was convinced that we didn’t need to do anything about the flood season because “plants can’t die of too much water.” What the heckity heck? I thought Cabin 9 kids were supposed to be smart?

Also trying to contain the rage that comes when other campers forget that our cabin is the only reason the camp has any money.

“No, you can’t replace the strawberry fields with another forge, we need the strawberry fields, they give us monetary income”

Ditching classes to lay in the strawberry fields because at least the strawberries aren’t caught up in Cabin 10’s gossiping, except Psyche! the Aphrodite kids are already there, gossiping with the nymphs

I’m totally kidding, Cabin 10 is great, but seriously is teleporting a power of Aphrodite or...?

Arguing with Apollo campers about the best herbal remedies for things, bringing half of the forst into it, then risking your life to sneak out to a nearby library to get proof that you’re right

“If I never go back to that library ever again I don’t have to pay the late fee, right?”

I’m on a tangent but I’m pretty sure that book’s still at camp, Chiron won’t let me send it out with questing demigods because it would “distract them from their mission” or whatever

People always forgetting that Demeter is a sibling of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, too, and being surprises when our campers are powerful

In case you’re wondering, the reason our lives don’r suck as much is because Demeter actually takes parental responsibily when we’re in danger

Seriously, remember Persephone? Demeter is very much a protective mom.

On that note, I physically cannot talk to Nico because mom makes plants wrap push me backward whenever he’s near, which I’m guessing is related to the Persephone and Hades thing

Not being afraid of bugs, but getting into heated arguments with them when they threaten crops

Dragging shy nymphs to the campfire to sing

“Why are you talking to a tree?” “Well you see-“

The mist just making it look like we’re crazy and talking to the air

Or mortals just being very confused around us when we speed grow plants because their brains need to recalibrate every two seconds

That good good feeling of napping in the dirt, surrounded by trees and nature
