Absolutely Incredible Kids Day: Camp Fire USA's annual, award-winning, national call to action
March 17, 2012
What's so absolutely incredible?
Kids. They're absolutely incredible. And each year on the third Thursday in March (March 17, 2012), Camp Fire USA wants parents and adults everywhere to let kids know just how amazing and valuable they are.
Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® is a national letter-writing campaign where kids receive letters of support, love and encouragement from parents and adults. It only takes a few minutes to jot a note that will be remembered and appreciated for a lifetime. The positive impact of these letters on kids is what Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® is all about.
