Tara, 14, is a London, Ontario theatre native who is a triple threat - she sings, dances and acts. She attends Original Kids Summer Camp, where they hone their skills with professionals. Austin Ross, 14, lives near Whistler BC and is an extreme sports junkie - he seeks adrenaline on the ski slopes, and the mountain bike parks!
The Swap: Watch as Tara visits BC for the first time and tests her nerve as she skis on the Blackcomb glacier with Austin's freestyle skiing camp High North Ski Camp and tries REAL mountain biking. Meanwhile, Austin will be learning to be a performer. He will start with singing lessons, then try dancing and acting all in preparation for a big talent show at the end of his session...will this sporty guy be able to find his artistic side?
