Absolutely Incredible Kid Day

What is Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®?
It's a day designated to honor our nation's children by writing letters of love and encouragement to them. It's a simple, meaningful way for adults to let children know how much they are appreciated.

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. 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.
Why is Camp Fire USA sponsoring this event?
Camp Fire USA wants to honor the hundreds of thousands of children involved in Camp Fire USA, as well as those not involved in our programs.
