Absolutely Incredible
Kid
Day is a huge, nationwide letter-writing campaign in which
adults tell children how Absolutely Incredible they are! Alpha Phi
Omega members and chapters have participated in Absolutely
Incredible Kid Day for the past several years, almost since its
inception. This project is an easy way to get started in working
with your local Camp Fire USA council and just to help kids.

If you aren't able to do the project specifically on March 15th,
please feel free to pick an alternate day to conduct your project,
ideally earlier in March. Start planning now to include this
project in your chapter's spring service program.
Camp Fire USA is one of the nation's leading not-for-profit youth
development organizations, serving 735,000 participants annually.
Camp Fire USA provides all-inclusive, coeducational programs in
hundreds of communities across the United States. Camp Fire USA's
outcome-based programs include youth leadership development,
self-reliance exercises, after school groups, camping,
environmental education and child care.
Camp Fire USA takes pride in its long-standing commitment to
providing fun programs and services to all children and families in
America. Camp Fire USA is inclusive, open to every person in the
community, welcoming children, youth and adults regardless of race,
religion, socioeconomic status, disability, sexual orientation or
other aspect of diversity. Camp Fire USA's programs are designed
and implemented to reduce gender-role, racial and cultural
stereotypes and to foster positive intercultural relationships.
Given these stated program goals of character and leadership
development in community service with an open and diverse
membership, it really makes sense for Alpha Phi Omega chapters to
work with Camp Fire USA.

Note that not all places have an active council, but that should
not prevent you or your chapter from participating in Absolutely
Incredible Kid Day.
