I do have this tent and also a 12 year old!
I'm not sure that my particular 12 year old would be able to put the thing up by himself in 10 minutes.. (I guess I should let him try)... but between us we usually manage it fairly quickly.
As far as I remember I pretty much ignored the accompanying instructions and just pitch using a basic 'tunnel tent technique'. We put the poles in as described by matshan, then gather the hoops together in a pile, stand them up, guy out the back one then walk forward with the remaining hoops. (Sorry, this has been described much better in other posts). The first time I nearly didn't spot the tension straps which are on one side only and which obviously need to be completely loosened off before attempting to put the pins into the poles.
Hope you enjoy your first camp.
