RR # 2

In the series, "The Heros of Olympus," there are two different camps, Greek and Roman. The original Greek camp, which was introduced in the first book of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series ("The Lightning Thief"), follows the Greek gods (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Ares...), and the other camp, introduced in the second book of "The Heros of Olympus" series ("The Son of Neptune").                                                                                 
The Greek camp (Camp Half-Blood) is much easier on new campers, and much less complicated. In the Greek camp, you are separated by your godly parent, but in the Roman camp you are separated into five cabins based on recommendation from older campers. The Roman camp is much more built on power, the lower the cabin number, the more power. Also there are two leaders that are elected, and a senate. In the Greek camp, there are cabin leaders, which is like the senate, and there is the camp director, and camp trainer.                                                      
When you are found and placed in the Greek camp, you are welcomed, and put into the Hermes cabin until you are claimed. Most people are nice to you, and you don't require                        recommendations from older half-bloods to get into a better cabin. But in the Roman camp, you must be trained by an elder wolf who will determine if you can come to the camp, or if you are to be killed. If you want to get in a good cabin, you must have good  recommendations, otherwise you're put in the fifth cabin, which is the "worst" one.                                                                              
Punishments for tardiness and other disobediences in the Greek  camp would be cleaning the dishes, cleaning the stables, or other chores, while at the Roman camp it would be beating, dunking, or possibly death.                                                                               
In conclusion, the Roman camp is very much more disciplined, and serious. The Greek camp is much less complicated, and much less strict.
