Camp Half Blood

If you are in 5th through 8th grade and you think, you even SUSPECT that you might have some of the powers of a hero, then it is imperative that you call Lakewood Public Library Children’s and Youth Services. We will have a seven week program to recruit and train demi-gods for our Camp Half Blood Program. Percy and Annabeth cannot complete every quest by themselves. Next time it might be you travelling across the country in search of monsters, titans and those who have betrayed the gods and the mortal world. (If none of this makes sense to you, perhaps you should check out the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, which begins with The Lightning Thief). If you indeed are chosen for a quest, you will need to know extensive amounts of history of mythology as well as general knowledge. You will need to have sharp skills, the ability to combat dangerous threats and to communicate with your troops. You certainly won’t develop these abilities in your mortal day school! The program will begin on Wednesday March 17 at which time we will try to determine from which god or goddess you have descended and which latent super-human powers you may possess as a result of your lineage. From there, trainees will be put to the test through games, challenges and activities. It won’t be easy, to be sure, but hopefully you’ll have some fun training with your fellow heroes!

If you interested in registering, stop by the Children’s and Youth Services  Department  or call 227-8275 ext. 140. The program runs from March 17 to May 5 from 7-8:30.  There will be no session on April 7.
