How to:

Build the coolest outdoor fort you’ve ever seen! Try to use natural materials as much as you can (fallen branches etc.).  If it’s safe to do so, try sleeping in your fort overnight, and take a picture of you inside it.

For older youth, try to make a debris shelter that could be used in a survival situation to keep you warm and dry. You could even do a water test to see how waterproof it is!
