The city of Stawell was in for a treat. And thanks to beautiful sunshine, a picture-perfect Central Park Oval and plenty of enthusiastic school kids, so were the Collingwood footballers. 

Day one of the club's two-day Community Camp in Stawell and Ararat began in the town made famous for hosting Australia's oldest and richest foot race, the Stawell Gift. 

After meeting and greeting the Mayor of Stawell Murray Emerson and 2012 Stawell Gift winner Matt Wiltshire, the players quickly their attention to a superclinic on the famous oval.

It was here where current and aspiring footballers shone as a large group enjoyed the fun in the sun. 

Collingwood Media was on hand to capture all the action in Stawell. Catch the best photos from the day in the gallery below.
