About Coppermine Fieldhouse
Coppermine Fieldhouse offers a diverse range of family entertainment and activities, but parents should be aware of significant inconsistencies in program quality and staff engagement. While certain programs like their Coppermine Camps, specific Karate classes, and Gymnastics receive glowing reviews for energetic and engaging staff, other programs such as Basketball and Swim have been criticized for late, disengaged coaches, poor instruction, and uncomfortable situations, alongside reports of rude front desk staff. The value proposition is highly dependent on selecting a well-regarded program and potentially a specific coach.

Insider tips
- For camps like Coppermine Camp, expect children to be highly engaged, physically active, and return home with positive stories.
- If considering Karate for a 4-year-old, specifically inquire about Coach T's class.
- For soccer, if available, Coach Felix is highly recommended (though his age group may be outgrown by older children).
- Exercise caution and inquire about specific coaches and class structures before enrolling in basketball or swim programs, especially for younger elementary-aged children.
- Be prepared for potential inconsistencies in staff demeanor, particularly at the front desk.
Good to know before you go
- Basketball programs, especially for 6-7 year olds, if consistent coaching quality, punctuality, fundamental instruction, and effective class management are priorities.
- Swim classes for 5-year-olds if concerns about instructor's professional appearance and appropriateness in attire are a factor.
- Assuming all staff members will be consistently 'kind' or 'helpful', as a rude receptionist was reported.
- Enrolling in programs without investigating specific coach assignments or class structures, given the wide range in reported quality.
- One parent reported an initial negative experience with a rude receptionist.
- Value
- No specific pricing details are provided in the reviews. The value is highly variable: excellent value for well-run programs with engaging coaches (e.g., Coppermine Camp, Coach T's Karate, Gymnastics) but potentially very poor value for programs suffering from late, disengaged coaches, poor instruction, and unprofessional conduct (e.g., basketball, certain swim classes).
- Safety
- While not explicitly detailed, staff presence is implied during all activities. No specific safety protocols (e.g., wristbands, first aid stations) are mentioned.
What parents say
"Both of my boys (5 and 8) had an awesome time at Coppermine Camp. The staff was great with the kids—really energetic, kind, and super patient. Each day was packed with fun activities, and my kids came home happy, tired, and full of stories. It’s hard to find something that works so well for both of their ages, but this camp did it. They were excited to go every morning, which says it all. Already looking forward to signing them up again!"
