What is Camp Orange?
Camp Orange was all about adventure and teamwork! Teams of best friends were chosen from thousands of video entries sent in by kids from Australia and New Zealand. These teams got to go on an amazing outdoor adventure.
They competed in messy and exciting physical challenges. These challenges tested how smart they were and how well they could work together. The goal was to win awesome prizes!
Starting from season 5, contestants would vote each day for someone called 'Champ Orange'. This was for the person who showed the best sportsmanship and was the most fair. From season 9 onwards, the public got to vote for 'Champ Orange'!
