CAMP HALF-BLOOD
At Camp Half-Blood, we’ve meticulously crafted a mythical summer camp experience that brings the adventures of Camp Half-Blood to life, allowing your child to step right into the living epic of Camp Half-Blood.
Here, we have mastered the art of crafting a haven where young heroes can walk alongside legends, and where the essence of their favorite tales becomes an everyday reality.
The “real” Camp Half-Blood, inspired by Rick Riordan’s bestselling Percy Jackson Chronicles, our camp is situated in a universe where the ancient gods and goddesses of Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythology are not distant legends of the past — they exist in the present. Yet, in the shadows, formidable monsters and adversaries lurk, determined to bring about their downfall.
An Immersive Journey
Prepare for an extraordinary odyssey where young adventurers transcend ordinary summer camps and step into the realm of demigods. Camp Half-Blood offers an unparalleled summer experience, where campers not only create but live their own heroic tales, all while engaging in activities inspired by legendary heroes from across the globe.
Craft Your Tale
As they arrive, campers are sorted into their chosen “hometowns,” be it Athens or Sparta, setting the stage for a week of epic storytelling. Together with their counselor, they shape the narrative that will define their journey. Throughout their stay, they unlock clues that guide them on a grand adventure, all thanks to myth-crafting, the art of storytelling, and the unwavering strength of teamwork.
The climax of this incredible journey? An action-packed “Quest,” featuring living monsters and gods, mind-bending puzzles, daring rescue missions, and epic battles.
Every camper takes on a unique role, honing their sword-fighting, armor-forging, and storytelling skills. Should additional props be needed, campers can craft them during dedicated craft time. Camp Half-Blood empowers children to unleash their inner heroes, building confidence and abilities.
A Magical Place
One parents rave, “Camp Half-Blood is a truly magical place where counselors and campers showed my child a path towards new and wonderful friendships.”

CAMP HALF-BLOOD
Train Like A Demigod
Demigod training at Camp Half-Blood is a one-of-a-kind experience that combines physical, mental, and creative challenges.
Every week at
Camp Half-Blood
is different.
Camp Half-Blood’s Mythology Studies, finds demigods immersed in the tales of gods, goddesses, and heroes through storytelling, activities and crafts. During lunchtime, our counselors enchant with captivating stories of legendary figures like Odysseus and Anansi, Mixcoatl and Hua Mulan, Beowulf and Boudica. Camp Half-Blood is where mythology studies come to life through the art of storytelling, creating new heroes every week!
A demigod can’t become a hero without going on their quest. Fate demands that we are tested and our campers always rise to the challenge. Mythical monsters from around the world are always seeking to destroy the camp or worse the gods themselves. It’s up to our young heroes to venture into the unknown and dark reaches of their park to stop the bad guys. Battle with monsters, solve ancient puzzles, and unravel the mysteries to keep the magic of camp alive. The treasures our campers bring home stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Swordplay and foam-weapon games are a staple of Camp Half-Blood. Our weapons are made with celestial bronze cores that make them safe for training and devastating to monsters. Our sword training focuses on the development of individual skills and techniques for duels with drills and form lessons. For our big battles, demigods at CHB learn the fundamentals of teamwork, tactical thinking, and communication to thrive on the battlefield. Every program hosts a sword tournament at the end of every week. Train hard, learn from your counselors and your fellow campers, and you might duel your way to the top and take home the champion’s golden sword as your prize.
Every hero has the tools and equipment that keep them safe along their journey. Heracles had his lion-skin and club, Artemis had her silver bow, and the Monkey King had his magic staff. Camp Half-Blood campers are no exception and learn how to turn ordinary materials like cardboard, duct tape, and foam into an arsenal of unique arms and armor from around the world. Want a roman shield, samurai armor, and a Viking axe as your kit? No problem. Our counselors help your camper channel their inner forge-god and guide them through building a creation that is their own.
Demigods don’t shy away from healthy competition and our Olympic games bring out the best examples of their teamwork, athletics, and quick thinking. Events for our games include Laestrygonian Dodgeball, capture the flag, mythological trivia, and stealth games such as Escape Medusa’s Garden. The team that performs the best across all our games is given honors and the day ends in a festival of celebration. Don’t forget to give offerings to your patron god or goddess!
