One Chick-fil-A restaurant is hosting a children's summer camp, and it has stirred up quite the controversy. On June 5, 2023 a franchisee in Hammond, Louisiana, announced its Chick-fil-A Summer Camp. It costs $35 to get into the camp and comes with a three-hour session with team leaders. The suggested age range is for kids ages 5 to 12.
Participants will receive a kids meal, T-shirt, name tag, and a snack. The camp has a range of activities, like spending “some time with the Chick-fil-A Cow and Chick-fil-A Team Leaders,” as well as a behind-the-scenes look at how a franchise location works.
“We are excited to announce our very first Chick-fil-A Summer Camp,” the Facebook post stated. Three sessions were being offered at the West Hammond location, with a capacity of 30 children each. However, all sessions sold out within an hour that they added three more sessions on a later date.
Despite seeming to be popular, some social media users took up a problem with the camp.
“Yay!! Child labor!!” one person commented.
“This is super weird are these people trained in child care?” someone else asked, with another person adding, “THIS IS CRAZYYYY LOL.”

On the other hand, some users showed their support.
“Sent!” one parent who signed their child up wrote. “Can’t wait!!”
“I’ll go against the grain here,” another user said. “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.”
