SoPoly + Camp John Hope: Building Community Through Purposeful Outdoor Design

When tradition meets innovation, something great happens—and that’s exactly the story behind our collaboration with Camp John Hope.

As one of Georgia’s premier leadership and learning centers for youth development, Camp John Hope serves thousands of students and educators each year. Their mission is clear: provide a place where future leaders can grow, connect, and thrive. And they needed outdoor spaces to match that vision.

The Challenge: Functional Outdoor Furniture for High-Traffic Use

Camp John Hope’s leadership reached out to SoPoly with a familiar issue—outdoor furniture that couldn’t withstand Georgia’s weather or the daily use of hundreds of students. They needed a solution that combined:

• Heavy-duty durability
• Low maintenance
• Comfortable, inclusive design
• And of course—great looks for their rustic, nature-centered campus

The SoPoly Solution: Built to Last, Designed to Welcome

We curated a collection of our best-performing products to suit the unique needs of Camp John Hope along with some custom items:

• Firepits and Adirondack Chairs placed around firepits and gathering zones
• picnic tables for pavilions and outdoor learning areas
• Engraved Trash receptacles
• Flat Chaise Lounges for there pool
• Custom Lifeguard Platform and chair
• Shooting tables

All furniture is made from recycled HDPE poly lumber, which resists fading, splintering, and warping—even in the Southern heat and humidity.

Most importantly, our pieces were designed for comfort, safety, and accessibility—key for a space serving all ages and abilities.

The Result: A Better Camp Experience for Everyone

Today, Camp John Hope’s upgraded outdoor areas offer students, staff, and visitors a beautiful place to relax, collaborate, and connect with nature. Whether it’s a quiet conversation between mentors or a team-building event under the pines, SoPoly’s furniture helps foster the sense of community that Camp John Hope is known for.

As one camp coordinator told us:

“SoPoly gave us furniture that feels like it was made for us. It holds up, looks great, and helps us serve our students better every day.”
