What is Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®?
- It’s an annual call to action inviting adults to write letters of love and support to America’s children, created by Camp Fire, one of the nation’s leading youth development organizations.
When is Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®?
- March 18, 2021 — and annually on the third Thursday of each March.
Why is Camp Fire sponsoring this event?
- Camp Fire wants to honor the hundreds of thonds of children involved in Camp Fire, as well as all kids nationwide.
- Adults sometimes forget to stop and tell a child how important he or she is. Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® is a reminder to do just that.
- Camp Fire is an expert in adult-to-child communication, and Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® strengthens the important bond between kids and adults.
What’s so special about a letter?
- A letter is personal, tangible and something a person can hold onto for years to come. Through written words, people can express emotions they may hold back in conversation. And during the often-challenging times of adolescence, children may be more open to reading a letter than having a talk that may “embarrass” them.
Does writing a letter really make a difference?
- Children need positive reinforcement in their lives. The right words of encouragement can come at just the time a child needs them most – helping the child make better decisions, build self-esteem, and even be more compassionate and successful.
What is your goal for Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®?
- We want every child in America to receive a letter. Just imagine the impact of loving letters in lunch boxes, on pillows or tucked in backpacks.
