Camp Rap-A-Hope is a one-week summer camp for children and teenagers who are battling cancer or who have ever been diagnosed with cancer and who are 7 to 17 years of age. It is 100% free of charge. Camp is sponsored by the Medical Society and The Alliance to the Medical Society of Mobile County in the state of Alabama and various corporate and individual donors. Our campers usually reside along the Gulf Coast in the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana.

Camp Rap-A-Hope was a vision of love conceived in 1985 by the Medical Society and Medical Alliance of Mobile County. The first Camp Rap-A-Hope was held in 1986. Kids and counselors have enjoyed this carefree week each summer since then.

We want to welcome our new addition to the Camp Rap-A-Hope team, Roz Dorsett! She will be serving as the new Assitant Director. She is orginally from here in Mobile, but came to us from Atlanta where she worked closely with kids with cancer as a Child Life Specialist in the hospital and a volunteer for a camp similar to Rap-A-Hope in the Atlanta area. She is excited to join the Rap-A-Hope family and is looking forward to meeting each of you!
