Winter Camp Savings Time (WCST)

OriginWinter Camp XV (1991)
The StoryIt's always a challenge to get everything done during the day at Winter Cmap. The issue is that darkness comes pretty early and campers aren't always willing or able to get up and moving early enough to take advantage of the limited daylight we do have.

Enter Winter Camp Savings Time. By setting our clocks ahead, we allow people to sleep in but extend the day until about 6:00 pm most days. This effectively gives us another hour of daylight.

The actual interval is 77 minutes; this number was chosen based on the first Winter Camp being held in 1977.
