This year, campers have more at stake than ever before. The winning team, as voted by kids watching at home, will be crowned Nickelodeon's Star Siblings at a live series finale and score a recurring role on the channel as Nickelodeon's official kid reporters. By registering at Nickelodeon.com.au, kids at home will also have the chance to star in the series finale as the fifth Camp Orange team!

Now in its eleventh season, Camp Orange is Nickelodeon Australia's multiple ASTRA Award-winning (2008, 2009, 2010) local production and Australia's longest running kids' reality series.
