RTÉ casting call looking for teenagers to star in active summer camp TV series

RTÉ in partnership with Irish TV production company Macalla Teo are looking for chatty and outgoing teenage boys to take part in a two week summer camp in August.

The summer camp will be part of an upcoming television series on RTÉ, and the casting call promises that the camp will be one "with a difference".

The series may be a follow-up to Keep it Up, in which presenter Emer O'Neill brought together a group of teenage girls to explore the topics of body image, mental health and women in sport.

Each teenager had either dropped out of sport or never played, and during the show O'Neill and other female sporting guests attempted to find out why girls quit sports in their teenage years.

RTÉ's upcoming show promises to be a similar mentor-led experience, with the teenagers involved taking part in a range of activities and presumably meeting some iconic Irish sports stars to help them through the journey.

Macalla Teo have produced a range of successful children's shows for RTÉ, previously producing After School Hub, a show providing young audiences with a range of after-school activities. The production company also worked on last year's heartfelt Irish language film Róise & Frank.
