This is, for the most part, a rough idea of what a day in the life of a demigod would be like. Not everyone’s schedule is made the same, but the hours the Mess Hall is open is the same for everyone. At the end of the day, the entire camp is expected to congregate in the Ampitheater and participate in the campfire singalong as a sign of unity. For the most part, the schedule is malleable and carried out on an entirely voluntary basis by the campers (as in, this is not a school – they are not FORCED to attend class and so forth) – although if you skip one too many chore obligations/lessons/training sessions…well, Chiron and Mr. D can make your life very difficult.
Meals consist primarily of various fruits and vegetables, cheeses, whole wheat breads, and extra lean barbeques. The presence of junk foods are supposedly forbidden, but during special occasions banquets are thrown where organic pizzas and healthy burgers are served, as well as Mr. D’s version of diet Coke. Overall, the food served is quite healthy. Before each meal, campers sacrifice a portion of their food to the bonfire in the middle of the pavilion as a thank you to the Gods.
Curfew is at 11:00pm sharp, every night, unless campers are given express permission to be out after then for a special event. This means that campers are all expected to be in their respective cabins by then, no questions asked. If a demigod is found out and wandering, Dionysus might just turn them into a shrub. Or give them a month’s worth of bathroom cleaning duties. Or worse such as being caught by the harpies that patrol the camp at night.
