This is a request for teenage boys to harvest cherries in Door County under the guise of a summer camp. Summer "outing?" Sounds like a real job to me. But further research (see below) indicated that it WAS a camping experience, with nightly baseball games as recreation and weekly "moving pictures." Say what you will about some of the text in the article, but I'm sure it can be accounted for by saying it was a more innocent time. Looking at it from a 2020 sensibility though still sends up alarm bells to the reader today.
