A Louisiana Chick-fil-A has sparked an online debate after launching a camp for kids — leading some people to call the restaurant out for 'child labor,' while others defended it.
A Chick-fil-A restaurant in Louisiana announced that it will host a summer camp just for kids, igniting a debate on social media. The franchise location in Hammond will open its doors to kids, ages 5 through 12, to participate in its very own "Chick-fil-A Summer Camp" from July 15-17 and July 22-24. The camp fee is $35 per session, according to a recent Facebook post.
Hey parents! Pay us so we can use your kids for child labor.' – I fixed your flier," one user wrote. "Wait. You're wanting parents to *check notes* pay you, to use their young children as laborers. But they get a free meal, snack and shirt that will give you free advertising?" one person added. "Just because it’s the 20’s again doesn’t mean we should bring back child labor. It didn’t go great the last time, spoiler alert," another Facebook user wrote.
Not everyone is against the camp, however. Some users showed interest and even defended the fast food location. "I’ll go against the grain here. Kudos to you, Chick-Fil-A Hammond. It’s nice to see an offer to teach young children about work ethic and responsibility, while having a little fun at the same time. I’ll ask my daughter if she’s interested in attending," one Facebook user commented. "I love this and don’t think it’s bad at all.
It continues to run every summer and receives positive comments from parents and kids alike – this year’s kids camp at that restaurant sold out in seven minutes, 200 spots," Tipton said. Campers at the Houston restaurant partake in activities like trivia and bingo games that are focused on the brand. Tipton highlighted that the restaurant does not profit off of the camp.
