How often do we stop to tell the kids and teens in our lives how incredible they are?
This is why Camp Fire founded Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® in 1997—to activate millions of adults across the U.S. to write/tell a young person in their life what makes them incredible.
This year, Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® is proudly presented by Premiere Sponsor SHAZAM!, in theaters April 5.
Your words are powerful: encourage and uplift the kids you know this March!
Every kid is a superhero! That’s why we want you to nominate an incredible kid in your life (K-12) for Camp Fire’s 2019 Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®.

Every year, on the third Thursday of March, thousands of adults send notes, emails, letters, texts, videos (you choose!) to encourage and inspire young people across the country. 2019 AIKD is March 21.
Participating in AIKD is a simple, meaningful way to let youth know how much they are appreciated. Words are powerful – young lives are changed by this day and simple act of your encouragement, love, and kindness.
