Current Entry: Weekette
A supplemental unit to the Universal Measurement System, one weekette is defined to be the length of a Winter Camp-specifically, the time spent under Winter Camp Savings Time, including travel time to camp but not any setup time. In standard units, 1 weekette is now equal to 103 hours-it was coined when Winter Camp ran for only 4 days and three nights, where 1 weekette was equal to 79 hours. In universal units, 1 weekette now equals 394.483613 jiffys. This term originated at Winter Camp II as members wrestled with the realization that they were at camp for longer than a weekend but less than a week.
