The Duneland School Corporation has listed all kinds of camp opportunities and activities such as football, soccer, basketball, etc. Up first is Football Position Camps for Intermediate and Middle School students entering grades 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 in the Fall of 2023. Each camp is limited to the first 35 kids that sign up for that camp date. Football Skill Development Camps will mainly be focusing on specific position skills that will be needed to play such as Pop Warner or Middle School Football in the fall of 2023. Position Camps are being held at the Chesterton High School Football Stadium on the Turf. Session 1 (Defensive Back and Wide Receiver Skills Camp) will run Monday through Wednesday on June 19th – 21st from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. and Session 2 (Quarterback & Running Back Skills Camp or Offense & Defense Lineman & Linebacker Skills Camp) will run Monday through Wednesday on June 26th – 28th from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. Session 2 will run the two position groups simultaneously, but they will be separate on the field. The cost is $50 per session for 4.5 hours of instruction and checks are payable to the Chesterton Elite Football Camps.
Moving on to the Chesterton Soccer Summer Trojan Camp of 2023. Chesterton Soccer Summer Camp will be up and running the week of July 24th – 27th and the camp will be divided into three different age groups. The age groups, times, dates, location, and cost are as follows:
| Grade | Dates | Times | Location | Fee |
| < 2nd Grade | July 24-27 | 4:00-5:00 PM | CHS/field | $70.00 |
| 3rd-5th Grade | July 24-27 | 5:00-6:30 PM | CHS/field | $100.00 |
| 6th-8th Grade | July 24-27 | 6:30-8:00 PM | CHS/field | $100.00 |
Students will be taught agility drills, individual skill development, tactical knowledge, small-sided progression, and full-sized games depending on what age group you’re in. The main goal is to put players in a positive atmosphere where they gain knowledge, become acquainted with the coaching staff, and above all, have fun.
