StarKids focuses on children of fallen military veterans who died in combat and first responders, police officers, game wardens, disaster responders, and firefighters, between the ages of 10 and 18 years. Each child is paired with a member of the fallen first responder’s agency or military branch as a hunting buddy and mentor. Both become “hunter safety certified” together prior to the hunt. Groups of 4-6 StarKids and their buddies then participate in a unique hunt together for deer, hog, or on an exotic hunt, depending on the group’s interest.
