Get Involved & Support Civitan Camp

It All Started with a Few Cots… Over 50 years ago, Abbie Rogers, our founder, asked the Hattiesburg Civitan Club for a few cots to take camping. That simple request blossomed into a life-changing tradition of inclusion, service, and community.​

Today, Hattiesburg Civitans remain small in number but strong in dedication, working tirelessly to fund the camp year after year. Thanks to generous community donations and the annual Civitan Golf Tournament, the Abbie Rogers Civitan Camp continues to thrive—providing unforgettable experiences for individuals with disabilities while fostering leadership and service in young volunteers.

Your Contribution Makes a Difference

Supporting Civitan Camp is more than just funding summer fun—it’s an investment in the lives of people across South Mississippi and beyond. As a 100% volunteer-run, nonprofit organization, we provide life-changing experiences for individuals with disabilities, build character in teenagers through volunteer opportunities, and cultivate a service-oriented community where every act of kindness counts.

How have we continued this mission for over 50 years? One donation at a time! Every dollar, every bottle of soap, and every hour of work is valued. Because our administrative staff, camp staff, and counselors are all volunteers, 100% of donations go directly to camp operations—ensuring that every contribution makes a direct and meaningful impact.

Ways To Support Civitan Camp

1. Make a Financial Contribution

  • Every donation—big or small—helps us sustain camp and create lasting memories.

  • Scholarships: Many campers need financial assistance to attend. The camp fee is $125 per camper, but no one is turned away due to financial need—thanks to generous donors like you.

  • Endowment Fund: To ensure the future of Civitan Camp, we aim to raise $400,000, using the interest to support camp operations for years to come. 

2. Donate Supplies

  • Camp operating costs are approximately $50,000 per year, not including in-kind contributions. Donations of food, cleaning supplies, art materials, and recreational items help keep camp running smoothly.

  • Amazon Wish List: Order items directly for camp with just a click! (Remember to include your name so we can thank you.)

  • Supply Drive: Want to organize a local donation drive? Contact us to help gather much-needed supplies.
