Here we have an American family with three boys on a family camping adventure during summer vacation. The family seems to have rented a cabin in Pennsylvania. The boys look to be about 9-15 years old. They are pictured on the porch with the family pooch. The caption on the back reads "Boys on camping trip, Kotsch Family, Fullerton, PA, 1930s". we think the late-30s is probable. Fullerton is located in eastern Pennsylvania, north of Philadelphia. We assume the cabin is somewhere near a river or lake. The boys clothing is intereeting. Even though they are camping, only one of the boys wear short pants and there are no knickers. Many boys at the time were refusing to wear short pants, even during the summer--considering them childish. This varied from family to family.
