Molly Goes to Camp: A Story of Courage, Faith, and Growing Up

Discover the new children’s book inspired by SpringHill President Molly Ramseyer’s childhood camp experience.

The story behind the book

Every Brave Beginning Has a Story

At eight years old, Molly was nervous about spending her first week away from home at SpringHill. She didn’t know what to expect, and saying goodbye to her parents wasn’t easy.

But that week, something began to change.

Through new friendships, exciting adventures, and the comfort of knowing Jesus was always near, Molly began discovering courage she didn’t know she had.

She returned to SpringHill year after year, growing in her faith, building lasting relationships, and discovering more about who God made her to be.

Years later, that once-nervous camper would return to lead the very ministry that helped shape her life.

One childhood camp experience. A story still unfolding.

A Story for Every Nervous Camper (and Parent)

“I’m sharing my story for the child who’s a little nervous about camp, and the parent who’s a little nervous about letting go.

I remember what it felt like to be that little girl. And I know how much can happen when a child has the opportunity to step outside their comfort zone, make new friends, and discover that Jesus is right there with them.

I hope this story encourages families to take that first step and discover what God might have waiting for them.”

Is Your Child Ready for Camp? Are You Ready to Let Them Go?

Inspired by a true story, Molly Goes to Camp follows a young girl navigating the excitement and uncertainty of her first overnight camp adventure.

Written for children ages 7–12, this encouraging Christian chapter book explores friendship, homesickness, courage, and the comfort of knowing Jesus is always near.

It’s a story for children learning that being brave doesn’t mean never feeling afraid, and for parents discovering that letting go can be an important part of helping their child grow.
