Will also explained to me the grading system: 

monster maiming 

defense 

sword fighting 

team spirit 

Greek speak 

chariot racing 

foot racing 

archery

 javelin throwing

 rock climbing

The grading system works just like the school grading system with most kids averaging at B's and C's with 5 in 20 kids getting all A's (which he told was most likely Athena kids). Will told new classes were getting added all the time but with the war, most classes were put on hold to sorely focus on preparing to fight. 

"Why is it so empty? I thought there would be more people." I observed as we headed past the dining area. 

Will sighed, "There used to be almost 250 of us but there's barely 75 of us now." He said sadly. "We've experienced great loss with demigods dying in battle, disappearing, or defecting and joining the Titans. As well as the satyrs have a difficult time bringing new half-bloods to camp due to the increased activities of monsters. You're lucky you even made it." 

"Will!" Called a boy with dark skin and dark hair with cornrows shaped like a double helix. He was wearing a camp half-blood shirt with a saxophone swung over his back. Both me and Will turned around. "It's Percy! He's back from the Andromeda and he needs your healing." 

Will immediately followed the dark skinned boy. I decided to follow as well. We stopped at a crowd of people. Will pushed through the crowd and I followed him until he knelt beside a boy. The boy had dark black hair and tanned skin. It seemed most people at camp knew him. 

The boy didn't look terribly hurt he was just unconscious and from what I could see had a large gash on his arm. It was weird though..he seemed to have come from the beach but his clothes and hair were perfectly dry.
