Mike Rowe backs Chick-fil-A’s $35 skills summer camp that was slammed as ‘child labor’: ‘God bless them’

The cost to attend one session of the Chick-fil-A Summer Camp is $35.

Mike Rowe responded to the allegations that the Chick-fil-A Summer Camp could be considered "child labor" by defending the camp and pushing back on the accusation. He argued that the camp teaches kids important life skills and soft skills, which are lacking in the current generation3. Rowe stated, "If Chick-fil-A is going to be part of leading that charge, God bless them. There's somebody [that] has to step in to do this. Soft skills, basic common sense, all of that stuff is still for sale and, sadly lacking." He also mentioned that the U.S. is currently suffering from a trade workers' shortage and that the next generation is showing enthusiasm for blue-collar jobs.
