Coppermine Fieldhouse

A great lifeguard workplace. Well maintained, safe, and supportive environment. The facility has modern equipment, clear signage, and clean amenities to ensure both lifeguards and patrons feel comfortable. Management plays a crucial role, providing thorough training, regular drills, and continuous professional development opportunities. Open communication and teamwork are emphasized, fostering a collaborative atmosphere where lifeguards feel valued and heard. Adequate staffing levels are maintained to prevent burnout and ensure that lifeguards can perform their duties effectively. The workplace promotes a culture of safety, vigilance, and responsiveness, with lifeguards equipped to handle emergencies efficiently. Additionally, a positive and inclusive work culture, where diversity is respected and encouraged, contributes to job satisfaction. Lifeguards have access to good amenities, such as break rooms and healthy snacks, to maintain their well-being. Overall, a great workplace that prioritizes safety, professional growth, and a supportive community.

I was a camp kid here for a while, and it was ok for the most part. I made a lot of friends, but some counselors either hated or liked their job based on how they treated kids. Some kids had bad attitudes and would not be held accountable for it. The lack of diversity made me feel a bit unwanted sometimes and also a target of being 'hated' by some kids. Pool lifeguards were horrible and rarely cleaned the pool daily, which would be full of dead bugs, leaves, and bodily fluids (Im not kidding), and then act confused as to why most kids would end up sick the next day. Their CIT program is not that great as they just throw you in and don't give you proper training. Lastly, the junior counselor recruiting is not good as they reject most people based on them being overqualified or a certain race, but would still be understaffed and not diverse enough. 

Typical Day: Be at work by 10 a.m., Work with children between pre-k ages and 8th grade until 2p.m.

What I learned: How I can manage up to 100 children at a time, watch for fights and children playing roughly. I can work well with others as well as work besides administration personnel and children. 
The hardest part of the job was finding the line between being a peer to the students vs. a motivational coach. The most enjoyable part of the job, however, was knowing that I was improving the lives of each child I had direct interaction with on a daily basis.

Coppermine Fieldhouse was a stepping stone in my career.  I appreciate everything that I was able to learn there about starting a new business venture.  We went through our growing pains together but the management always had their eyes on the main goal.  It was high energy and extremely rewarding, but I did not see a future for me there in the long-term.

Coppermine gave me the confidence and experience in learning how to relate to all types of people. I learned how to lead groups of children in sporting activities, plan events and manage junior co-workers.  The most enjoyable part of the job was making friends with new co-workers outside the job.

Every day is something different and the community is amazing. Would definitely recommend as a summer job. The payment could be better, however, I worked for community service and the impact you provide is significant on young children

Great place to work as a young person; not so great as am adult with family obligations.  If I recieved paid time off, health insurance, and other benefits, I would have been more inlcined to stay.

Given it’s a summer camp, the environment is really great. The counselors are super nice and so are the people who work front desk. Problems are sorted out very quickly and people are really easy to talk to if you have any issues.

Great for people looking for experience in the coaching and child service industries. Great pay as well as a fun and friendly staff. Multiple locations with plenty of employment opportunities.

Great place for child’s care experience. Management and clients are very friendly. Good environment to work, not so face paced except for summer time when there are camps
