The Chesterton High School Social Studies teachers host a Civil War camp each year for the U.S. History classes to learn about the Civil War through a living history style of presentation and education. Several years ago, the initial cost to make the camp was originally funded through a grant from the Duneland Foundation.
Over a two-day period, all junior US History classes visit three stations in the camp and rotate every 20 minutes. Students learned about the Union and Confederate camps, clothing and equipment, battle tactics, food and medicine.
