Seen and read: Lifehacks to make summer camp more comfortable. Here are a couple of pictures from Camp Scouthaven in Freedom, NY which is about an hour from Buffalo. Folks coming back to Scouting after 30 years as Scout Leaders say the pop up mosquito nets on cots are a gamechanger as they still have flashbacks […]

See why the SansBug is the best tent for scouts. In some units, every Scout has one so it seems like the SansBug is standard camp issue. Some Scouts even prefer sleeping in the critter-filled open-air canvas tents to using their backpacking tents since they enjoy having their own protected coccoon.
Packing for Summer Camp at Goshen Scout Reservation
Seen and read in the Goshen Scout Reservation rules: You can swat a skeeter but since ALL spiders are supposed to be left alone, having your own spider proof tent may just convince a reluctant kid to actually look forward to attending Camp Goshen! Here are pics of the 1 person screen tents on cots. […]
Ransburg Scout Reservation
A few photos from Scout Summer Camp Ransburg in Bloomington, Indiana. Thanks for keeping the boys spider free when they slept. The SansBugs worked great! I loved watching the sunset through the tents. Colleen Martin […]
Mosquito Net Tents for Summer Camp
It’s that time of the year when the earth springs into life again… but this year there is expected to be a little more activity. A dozen states from NY to IL and south to GA will see billions of cicadas emerge this month or next after spending 17 years underground. They will mate, lay […]

We’re thrilled that the SansBug screen tent has been featured in Ask the Gear Guy section of Boys’ Life magazine under… Stuff we Like! The SansBug has helped thousands of Scouts and their parents brave through summer camp. Feedback such as “first time he came home without bites” and “first year he stayed at […]
Kissing Bugs?
Which do you prefer: kissing bug, assassin bug or vampire bug? All three actually refer to the same bug; the triatomine which tends to bite humans on the face and lips while they are sleeping! As if the motionless daddy long legs in the corner of the tent was not enough to give you the […]
Scout Summer Camp (without the mosquito bites!)
As summer camp draws closer, we’ve compiled some reviews from parents and scout leaders about the SansBug. Happy bite-free camping! […]
Camp Sequassen
Hello SansBug, Our leaders and I would also like to thank you for helping us out with such a great product. They kept the bugs out and saved the leaders from having to do bug sweeps each night of the platform tents at Camp Sequassen. We did a overnight canoe trip to a small […]
Resica Falls Scout Reservation
Last year, I was looking for mosquito netting to help my son Jacob deal with the pending Boy Scout summer camp we were going to attend at Resica Falls Scout Reservation (he’s very afraid of spiders), and I came across several YouTube videos that explained the SansBug and how it worked. In particular the picture […]
Camp T. Brady Saunders
With a few days left to go for boy scout summer camp at Camp T. Brady Saunders, and the SansBug out of stock on Amazon, we were able to ship Joe a 1-person just in time for his son’s trip. Here’s an email from him: Thank you again for sending the SansBug mosquito net to […]
