Absolutely Incredible Kid Day

Camp Fire USA encourages all parents, grand-parents, neighbors and fiends to join in this national effort to make all kids feel special. On March 15, make an extra special effort to tell any and all kids in your life just how incredible and amazing they are! Write encouraging notes, cards or letters to the special kids in your life and slip them into their lunch boxes, under their pillows or hand them to them in person. Putting your praise into writing allows the kids to hang onto those encouraging words, and return to them for inspiration and guidance for years to come.
