Encyclopedia WinterCampica - Backwards Day

On Backwards Day, staged at Winter Camps XII and XIII, the morning breaks with a snack, dinner is served (ideally) at noon, lunch in the early evening, and breakfast just before the lights go out. At Winter Camp XIII, the disorientation due to this scheduling quirk led to mass confusion, and three meals-the Beggar's Banquet, Monochrome Lunch, and McDonald's Breakfast-backed up into the evening hours. One of the five days of Winter Camp V was dubbed "Backwards Day" in the list of daily themes used that year, but the events of the day were not reversed.
