As a special treat, the child labourers from the mine were taken camping every summer. This was referred to as "Mine Camp". Little Adolf in particular found it most enjoyable.

Before the results, a bit of information regarding the photo,

This image depicts a group of "breaker boys" working in a coal mine, likely in Pennsylvania during the early 20th century, a period when child labor was prevalent in various industries. 

* Breaker boys: were young boys employed in coal mines to separate impurities like slate and rock from coal after it was brought to the surface. 

* They often worked long hours in dangerous and unhealthy conditions, exposed to coal dust and the risk of injury from machinery or falling debris. 

* The image is likely one of the iconic photographs taken by Lewis Hine, a pioneering social photographer who documented child labor in the United States to raise awareness and advocate for reform. 

* Hine's work played a significant role in the child labor reform movement, which eventually led to legislation restricting and ultimately prohibiting child labor in many industries
