DisneyXD ventures into the great outdoors this summer with a national casting search for this year’s installment of the reality competition series, the Grizzly Cup. Back for its second season, the Grizzly Cup is the ultimate battle of strength, wits and determination as teams compete in exciting challenges, in an attempt to take home the coveted title of Grizzly Cup champs. Open to all adventure-loving, thrill-chasing, competition-hungry kids across Canada, the summer casting tour stops in a total of 10 locations nationwide, setting up camp in North Bay, ON, on Saturday, June 14 and packing up in Regina, SK on Saturday, August 16. Participants who think they’re up for the challenge are encouraged to pre-register in partners online.

At each tour stop, Grizzly Cup hopefuls will have to prove they have what it takes to participate in the epic outdoor challenge. Working in pairs, contestants will be asked to complete an obstacle course within a designated time limit, and take part in a post-competition on-camera interview, demonstrating their ability to adapt to any and every situation. Those who cannot make it out to a tour stop can still enter to be contestants by submitting an audition video online beginning June 13.

Founded deep in the woods of Muskoka in 1931, by expert Canadian camper, Tommy How, the Grizzly Cup is a competition like no other.  From the 50-foot rope course to the aquatics race, from the fire challenge to the grueling Mud Run – the Grizzly Cup tests competitors’ bravery, teamwork, athleticism and problem solving skills.This year, contestants will face more intense challenges and be pushed to their limits, while building an unbreakable bond with their teammate.Principal photography for the Grizzly Cup special (4 x 30 minutes) will begin later this summer, followed by the season’s debut on Disney XD in November.
