    I think it’s very unlikely that the kids will be doing anything resembling work that’s productive for the company.

    At worst, this is glamourizing fast food and fast food jobs to children. But this isn’t slave labour, lol

      Lol yeah, this will definitely be a net loss in productivity.

      It is lame as a children’s activity, but I could see some novelty in it, it’s sort of like those Mr Rogers segments where they go behind the scenes at a factory.

        Exactly. All 30 kids will probably love it. This probably isn’t something that parents would sign their kids up for unless they genuinely think their kid would enjoy it, lol

      You’re right. But the wording is way off. They should’ve emphasized the playful character of the event more.

        It probably wasn’t written by a professional, and they’re trying to satisfy two demographics.

        There’s the part for the kids, obviously, but the other demographic is the parents who want their kids to LEARN something at the camp.

        Parents don’t necessarily send their kids to Pokemon Camp because their kid loves Pokemon, but because the camp advertises to parents that their kids will learn X, Y, and Z skills and stuff, lol
