Community Camp focuses on engaging community football clubs and local schools across the Brisbane Lions zone with Brisbane Lions AFL and AFLW players. Inspiring the love of AFL and the Brisbane Lions across South East Queensland is key to increasing code awareness, inspiring physical activity and boosting signups to play AFL.
In 2019, players were spread across 13 different regions, where they visited over 100 schools and 20 community clubs. Over the 2 days, more than 3000 kids took part in various activities with the players. The 2019 community camp marks the seventeenth year of the AFL community Camp program.
