Mission

Camp Shield is a divisional dba of After Military Service (AMS), a 501(c)3 organization that was founded in 2017. AMS strives to support the personal and professional success of Veterans and their families by increasing resiliency, life satisfaction and empowering our nation's military families. Camp Shield's mission is to empower Women Veterans - emotionally, socially, and physically, to ensure she thrives after military service. Camp Shield's vision is to reduce the risk of Women Veteran's homelessness, depression, and suicide by providing a secure and comfortable environment for Veterans and their children to heal and grow. To achieve this vision, Camp Shield provides a series of SHE Thrives workshops, mastermind book clubs, peer-to-peer support groups, retreats, and resource referral services. We also collaborate with many other Veteran Service Organizations to partner with and refer our veterans to as needed.

Program accomplishments

  • Camp Shield's Financial Assistance Program: Through a grant from the Texas Veterans Commission, Camp Shield provides direct financial assistance to Veterans, their dependents, and surviving spouses facing financial hardship. This support helps meet essential needs such as rent, mortgage, utilities, and transportation, ensuring stability during times of transition or crisis. The program is designed to prevent homelessness, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being by addressing immediate barriers that can impact a Veteran's ability to achieve long-term success. Each request is reviewed with care to ensure funds are distributed responsibly and equitably to those most in need.

  • Camp Shield's SHE THRIVES Retreats provide Women Veterans and their children with 4-day retreats, held at off-site facilities. The retreats focus on our mission of empowering Women Veterans through emotional strength, social unity, and physical perseverance. By allowing a Woman Veteran's children to attend the SHE THRIVES Retreats, we can provide programming specific to family healing and growth. Our retreat model is easily updated and modified to provide the latest information and healing practices, including traditional therapies and holistic health approaches. We have a licensed therapist in attendance to facilitate some of the workshops and to be there should one of the women or children in attendance need to talk with a therapist. Fishing Retreats are unique multi-day retreats that offer experiences that promote relaxation, connection with nature, and personal growth through interaction with the outdoors. In 2024 we had two SHE THRIVES Retreats and 1 Fishing Retreat.

  • Camp Shield's SHE THRIVES Workshops, Mastermind Book Clubs and Peer Support Groups: The SHE THRIVES Workshops provide Women Veterans with the knowledge, tools, and experiences to achieve and maintain emotional strength, social unity, and physical perseverance. The workshops are two to six-hour long learning sessions which can be completed within a single day or over several weeks. A few examples of these workshops may include: Emotional Intelligence, Emotion Regulation, Who am I now?, Yoga, Sound and Vibration Therapy, Financial Fitness, and Mind-Body Wellness, Leadership training, and Women's self-defense classes. Workshops are currently offered at least monthly with a licensed therapist in attendance or on-call. Childcare is provided or reimbursed for, if needed. Camp Shield's SHE THRIVES Mastermind Book Clubs provide Women Veterans the opportunity to explore 'personal development/post traumatic growth' focused books with their peers. These facilitated, in-depth conversations, are led by qualified facilitators. Participants are encouraged to give honest feedback, opinions, and to create actionable items that they may incorporate into their lives. Camp Shield's 'Wonder Woman Wednesday's' Peer Support Groups provide Women Veterans with an open, safe, and secure environment to connect with and earn from fellow Veterans, not only in their local community, but across the United States of America. These support groups meet regularly for one-hour sessions. The 'Wonder Woman Wednesday's' Peer Support Groups have developed a peer-to-peer support structure model that is replicable across the country.
