Camp SHiEld - After Military Service

05/15/2026

From retreat attendee to volunteer… to now a full-year VISTA member — this is what growth, purpose, and community look like at Camp SHiEld 💜

After joining us at the SHE Thrives 2025 Spring Retreat, Stephanie Wiltz immediately stepped up to serve as a volunteer, supporting Camp SHiEld through grant research and grant writing. Her passion for helping Women Veterans and Military families, dedication to our mission, and heart for service quickly became clear.

Today, we are so excited to celebrate Stephanie’s commitment as she officially joins Camp SHiEld as a full-year AmeriCorps VISTA member! 🎉
We are incredibly grateful for leaders who choose to turn their experiences into impact and help us continue building stronger support systems for the women and families we serve.

Welcome to this next chapter, Stephanie — we are honored to have you on the team! 💪✨

We’re honored to be spotlighted as a grantee by the Astros Foundation and grateful for the continued support from both the Astros Foundation and Chevron!

Their investment helps support Camp SHiEld’s family and children-focused programming, creating opportunities for Women Veterans and their families to connect, heal, and build lasting community together.

From outdoor activities and creativity to peer connection and shared experiences, these programs help strengthen wellness and resilience across generations.

Thank you for believing in and supporting Veteran families.

When the Astros win, kids win.

Small steps. Real momentum. Lasting change.

We’re inviting Women Veterans to join the Intentional Actions Collective—a monthly psychoeducational workshop designed to help build structure, purpose, and forward movement, one step at a time.

Grounded in Behavioral Activation (BA), this space is all about progress over perfection—showing up, taking action, and growing together.

Guided by:
• Kerri Reyes, Program Manager, LCDC, USAF Veteran
• Special Guest: Dr. Delene Menefee, Clinical Psychologist

You don’t have to do it all—just take the next step. We’ll walk it with you.

💜 Month of the Military Caregiver 💜

This May, we honor the incredible individuals who stand beside our nation’s wounded, ill, and injured service members—military caregivers.

They are spouses, parents, siblings, friends—quiet champions who give their time, energy, and love every single day. Their strength holds families together. Their care makes healing possible.

We celebrate your resilience, your compassion, and the vital role you play in the lives of those who have served. Thank you for all that you do—this month and always.

Our time at the Air Force Wounded Warrior (AFW2) event was truly meaningful. Having a resource booth allowed us to connect with incredible veterans, caregivers, and supporters—each with a story that reminds us why this work matters.
We were especially proud to see our fellow sisters in arms represented and to share resources that strengthen and uplift our community. The conversations, the connections, and the sense of unity made this an experience we won’t forget.

Thank you, AFW2, for including us and for creating a space where healing, resilience, and empowerment shine.
