For the first time, the Cats Community Camp will host their official 'Closing Ceremony' at Adventure Park and everyone is welcome to join. Entry is FREE from 4pm to 6:30pm Tuesday evening.
This year the Cats will be tourists in their own backyard with the Bellarine and Surfcoast chosen as the Australia Post AFL Community Camp destination for 2015.
Over February 23rd and 24th, the Cats will visit a number of nursing homes, schools and hospitals from Portarlington across to Lorne.
However, a few of our more adventurous Cats will embark on a longer journey to the centre of the Corangamite farming district, Derrinallum. Starting the day with a leadership breakfast, the players will enjoy a community lunch before concluding their visit with a Cats' super clinic.
Kicking off the camp, the coastal town of Anglesea will host the Opening Ceremony with a civic reception, led by Geelong’s senior coach Chris Scott, on the Monday morning.
For the first time, the Cats will conclude their two-day visits, activities and clinics with a grand Closing Ceremony at Wallington’s Adventure Park and everyone is invited to take part in the celebrations.
Please see the timetable below for more details about the Cats 2015 community camp.
