Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® is a feel-good national holiday designed with one simple goal: TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE!
Camp Fire founded this holiday in 1997 because growing up is hard. This annual holiday is celebrated every third Thursday in March (March 19, 2026). Anyone can join! It’s easy and free.
Join millions of others across the U.S. and tell a young person in your life why they matter and what makes them amazing. Your words are powerful. Encourage a young person. Make an impact.
Fun fact: This year #KidDay falls on our 116th birthday!
Participating in #KidDay #AIKD is a simple, meaningful way to let young people know how much they are appreciated. Words are powerful. Young lives are changed by this day and the simple act of your encouragement, love, and kindness.
