This woodland teepee is  an old stand-by that my sister & I used to make in the summertime: A Teepee of Branches. I wanted to re-create this with my kids.

This is very simple to do. We were kids when we first constructed it, so anyone can do it-- in any age group!

​Enlist some helpers & set your sights on a woodland adventure. Collect some long boughs* and lean the branches against each other to form a 
triangular shape. Leave an opening for the doorway. [see image below]

After you have placed approximately twenty sturdy sticks to form the base of the structure, you are ready to cover with greenery. This will serve as a barrier against rain and also keeps the interior space cool in the hot sun.  
*easier said than done in urban areas
