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.

Camp Shield's SHE THRIVES Retreats, Reel Women Warriors Fishing Retreats, and Freedom Reigns Equine Retreats provide Women Veterans and their children with a multi-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. Equine and Fishing Retreats are unique multi-day retreats that offer experiences that promote relaxation, connection with nature, and personal growth through interaction with animals or the outdoors. In 2023 we had two SHE THRIVES Retreats, 2 Equine Retreats and 1 Fishing Retreat. Cumulatively, those retreats had 94 Women Veteran's and 24 of their children in attendance.
