Kid Day

#KidDay 

March 19, 2026

Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® is a feel-good national designed with one simple goal: to encourage and lift up 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 coincides with our 116th birthday!
