Welcome to our site today is March 21 Absolutely Incredible Kid Day #AbsolutelyIncredibleKidDay. I don’t know about you but I’ve had the opportunity to have lots of absolutely incredible kids in my life including Suzzane and Charlie. Which is why I’m excited to share today not only with Charlie but our #furbabies who are absolutely incredible kids as well.
I’m sure you’ve heard our kids are the future and I agree with this wholeheartedly. Do you? I would like to let you know that Camp Fire stands ready to help. This organization, born as Camp Fire Girls in 1910, has embarked on a mission to “guide young people on their journey to self-discovery.” What can we do to help? It’s simple on. Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®, encourage adults to write a young person a note — letting them know just why they’re so amazing! (Verbal messages are fine too.) Thoughtful words can spark a life-changing journey for a child.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE KID DAY® ACTIVITIES
- Simply tell a special young person in your life what makes her/him incredible. Be specific. Stick the note in their lunchbox or anywhere else they might look. Not feeling old school? You can always post on their favorite social media page. Or just tell them in person which should be done every single day.
- Visit a Camp Fire camp and you will be surprised at the variety. There are camps for the LGBTQ community, as well as Autism camps, grief camps, special needs camps — and many more camps and while at the camps kids will learn crucial life skills while participating in a wide array of fun activities.
