Encyclopedia WinterCampica - Continental Breakfast
A continental breakfast was first served at Winter Camp X, but the idea was more fully embraced following Winter Camp XIV, when Doug Wilson observed that he never woke up hungry at Winter Camp. This revelation-which many agreed with-coupled with some difficulty in getting people to turn out to cook or eat a complex morning meal led to the adoption of one to three continental breakfasts at all Winter Camps from XV through XXVIII, and again at Winter Camp XXX, by which time 29 continental breakfasts had been served. A substantial breakfast is still served occasionally on December 31 (for many years the Last Breakfast, more recently Jackpot Grits) and the morning of the Service Project, but on the other mornings, it is typically a much more casual approach to feeding which begins the day. Since its Winter Camp XV inception, an article announcing the inclusion of this meal appeared in each postcamp newspaper.
Winter Camp XLIII's only Continental Breakfast was rescheduled from Day Four to Day Three due to the correct prediction the night before of significant morning rain. There was considerable culinary innovation at this year's low-effort meal, as Waffles, carbonated Tang, and Tang-flavored Grits made their debut on the cumulative Winter Camp menu.
