The entire Sydney Swans squad will be spreading their wings across NSW next week for the 2013 AFL Community Camp.
The players will be visiting Wollongong, Forster, Gosford, Kempsey, Camden Haven, Newcastle, Bowral, Armidale, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and Sydney on February 18-19 as part of the camp.
For two days the Swans will be out in the community visiting schools, hospitals, local clubs, running AFL clinics and getting to know local fans.
Swans midfielder Jude Bolton said the players are looking forward to next week’s Community Camp.
“This year’s Community Camp will see my teammates and I spread far and wide around the state as we get out into the community to meet the fans,” Bolton said.
“We’re really looking forward to getting away for a couple of days and attending local schools and clubs as well as running a few AFL clinics.
“I hope to see as many people as possible next week so I encourage you to come along to an event in a town near you to meet the team.”
