Camp Half Blood Decor
What sets Camp Half Blood’s location ethereal and homely at the same time is its central and strategic placement; it is purely based off of the Greek Oikos/ home! The houses of the 12 Olympians: Zeus, Hera, Hephaestus, Hades, Hermes, Hestia, Artemis, Apollo, Ares, Athena, Aphrodite, and Poseidon; as well as other minor gods and goddesses surround the hearth where most of the campers flock to during times to eat.
In our remake of Camp Half Blood Percy Jackson Birthday Party setting, instead of the hearth, we incorporate a circular table setting for the banquet food! While most of you might complain that this will obstruct the view, this will actually amplify the place’s inviting vibe. The array of delicacies stacked upon the table will surely stimulate all of your guests to enjoy the party!

Camp Half Blood Furniture
The banquet’s centerpiece is then set off by wooden long tables on three sides. This is inspired by the log tables Camp Half Blood Percy Jackson Birthday Party originally sport. What’s interesting here is that each table represents a cabin; one for each god and goddess. To sort out your guests’ cabin, they will first draw lots before going inside the place! Now that will surely excite your guests for they still have to find out who their “godly parent” could be. This will also designate their cabins/ tables for the night. Don’t worry much if your guests won’t like their “co-cabins” for you could always assign them all on your own!
These are the long table settings that you could imitate. While one might be quite formal, you could always alter it with driftwood add-ons and other center pieces. The key here is that you have to remember that the simpler and minimal the table decorations are; the more it will be less intimidating and formal to look at. This will help your guests to act comfortably at the party and not worry about fine dining manners. We wouldn’t want that do we? Afterall, the setting is in a “camp” where people should feel cozy!

For Zeus’ cabin table, well, the obvious lightning bolt, of course, is its identifier. Metallic lightning bolt garlands will be displayed in the long table’s edges to give it its mark.
