Crowne Plaza Melbourne declares March “Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®”

Melbourne, FL, 2008 – Crowne Plaza Melbourne is declaring the month of March Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® in support of Camp Fire USA's program, developed to show children through a letter-writing campaign how incredible they are with letters of encouragement and support from caring adults in their lives. To champion the program, the Crowne Plaza of Melbourne is offering an Incredible Kid Day package, starting at $159 per night for a family of four in a standard guestroom. The package also offers guests an opportunity to write a letter upon check-in (stationary and pens will be provided), which will later be hand-delivered to all children on property via a balloon-a-gram. Additionally, a T-shirt decorating activity with a specially made stamp that states “Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®” will be a part of the festivities, as well as a daily seashell hunt (pails included) since the property is located right smack on the beach. The month will culminate with a huge celebration on property March 21 and 22 with all of the above activities, in addition to a family movie on the deck, a special outdoor party, family beach walks, and more.

“This is a wonderful way to show the children in your life how much they mean to you and how incredible they are, as these letters become a memento that children can cherish for a lifetime. The Crowne Plaza Melbourne is a haven for families, so it is only fitting that we extend an invitation to families everywhere to not only experience our property but participate in an event that will become a memory fit for dinner table discussions in years to come,” stated Tom Poehailos, General Manager of Crowne Plaza Melbourne.

The Crowne Plaza Melbourne is an oceanfront property that recently completed a $30 million renovation with 270 guestrooms, 24 suites with kitchenettes, and 17 oceanfront suites. A children's activity center, Kilwin's Chocolate Shoppe, and full-service concierge are also located on-site. The Crowne Plaza Melbourne is only 10 minutes from Patrick Air Force Base, 30 minutes from Kennedy Space Center and Port Canaveral, and only 60 miles east of Orlando, making this destination location oh-so-convenient.
