Nickelodeon Australia And New Zealand Start Filming "Camp Orange: Force 10" At Sea World Gold Coast

The official website of B&T Magazine, Australia's leading authority for marketing, advertising, media and PR, is reporting the aweslime news in the following article that Australia's longest-running reality television series "Camp Orange" has started filming its tenth season at Sea World on the Gold Coast in Queensland!

Produced locally by Nickelodeon, "Camp Orange" is not only Australia's longest-running reality TV show, cutting its teeth when Survivor was the new kid on the block, but was also the first 'original' kids reality series in Australia.

According to Kristie Phelan, executive producer and network creative director at Nickelodeon, this year saw more than 7000 Australian and New Zealand kids audition to be a part of the series. Auditioning entailed kids uploading videos of themselves to Nickelodeon Australia's official "Camp Orange" website, camporange.com.au.

Phelan told B&T that this huge number is whittled down to a shortlist of 150 and then eventually to the final 10 kids. "We basically look for kids that can talk underwater and that are really outgoing," she said.

The contestants are aged between 10 and 14, which Phelan says is the "sweet spot" between being able to be away for a week and still having "not lost that innocence we are looking for".

The series, which describes itself as "the slimiest show on TV" is locally produced and its format has been adopted globally in the UK and Italy.

Phelan says the secret to its success is its underlying values of friendship and fair play. "It is all about teamwork and celebrating best friends and this is something that every kid can relate to," she said.

"Camp Orange" is hosted by the Logie-nominated pairing of Luke Ryan & Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd.

Each year, the show follows the same format, but Phelan and the team introduce new challenges and new teams.

Previously the show was filmed in a traditional camping ground, but this year, for the second year running, "Camp Orange" is being filmed at Sea World on the Gold Coast. This location gives the series added excitement and Phelan said they were able to experiment with different production techniques such as mounting cameras on roller coasters.

"Camp Orange" is a multiple ASTRA-Award-winning (2008, 2009, 2010) local production and is this year has been nominated for Most Outstanding Reality Program yet again.

"Camp Orange: Force 10" premieres on Tuesday 10th June 2014 at 5:00pm on Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand!

The 2014 series, "Camp Orange: Force 10" is sponsored by Sea World and Razor Scooters:
