The “youth camp” back in the period these were drawn likely refers to a youth labor camp (rather than a recreation camp) These were a common thing during socialism - basically high school and college students were “volunteered” to help with seasonal labor (often crop harvesting) when school was out, and sometimes with large construction projects, irrigation/drainage, etc. It was generally unpaid and more or less mandatory work, but also an opportunity to live in a camp with other young people for the summer and socialize, so most people remember them quite fondly.
