Essendon Football Club’s Australia Post AFL Community Camps for 2018 have been announced, with players set to travel across Victoria in March.

Metropolitan camps will be held in Craigieburn and Essendon, while the team will also travel to western Victorian towns Camperdown, Cobden and Timboon and their surrounding areas on March 12 and 13.

Monday the 12th is Labour Day, so all fans young and old will have the opportunity to meet their favourite players.

Many Bombers will spend the day on dairy farms in the rural areas, while others will be working with the large Indian community in Craigieburn.

The following day players will attend local schools and junior clubs, offering a great chance for kids to engage with their heroes.
