The two day camp from February 10-11 will see the Swans visit Wollongong, Bowral, Newcastle, Terrigal, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Tamworth, Armidale and Sydney metropolitan areas.
A number of school, hospital, and nursing home visits will form part of the camp while players will also run AFL clinics and meet junior footballers playing for their local club.
Swans coach John Longmire said the Community Camps are a great initiative that brings the Swans and the community closer together.
“The players always look forward to the Community Camp as it provides a terrific opportunity to break up pre-season training and get away for a couple of days to visit the club’s supporters throughout the state,” Longmire said.
“With the demands of the home-and-away season, it is difficult to visit regional centres in NSW throughout the year so the camp will be a great way for the Club to get out into the community to local schools, hospitals and junior clubs.
“The 2014 community camp will be a great way to kick off the year just before the first bounce of the premiership season.”
A full itinerary of events and player allocations will be detailed closer to the date.
