Organization Information
Mission Statement
Camp SHiEld’s mission is collaborating to empower Women Veterans - emotionally, socially and physically - to ensure SHE thrives After Military Service.
Description
Camp SHiEld's vision is to reduce the risk of Woman Veteran homelessness and suicide by providing a secure and comfortable recovery environment for the Veteran and their children to heal and recover. Camp SHiEld was founded by a fellow women veteran, Maggie Paterson (US Air Force) who saw the need for help in the Woman Veteran community. Currently, Camp SHiEld’s programming consists of the SHE Thrives Sessions (workshops), Peer Support Groups, Mastermind Book Clubs, and Retreats focused on Emotional Strength, Social Unity and Physical Perseverance. Camp SHiEld’s 5-10 year strategic plan includes acquiring 10+ acres of land to build a retreat facility and then expand that to include a transitional housing community for Women Veterans and their children to heal and grow.
