Camp STAR, now in its 25th year, is dedicated to the youth of Henderson County. School Resource Deputies and teen counselors join forces to mentor and develop friendships with rising 6th graders over five, 3-day sessions, offered free of charge to the attendees.
Activities include fishing, hiking, swimming at Lake Lure, a visit to Downtown Hendersonville, a tour of the Henderson County Courthouse, a community service project and a pool party at the Elks Lodge to celebrate each successful session. Camp STAR is a wonderful way to connect with our youth and to reiterate the importance of leadership skills, anti-bullying and the dangers of addiction, all of which they learn in the seven-week STAR program brought to our elementary schools by our Deputies.
