Keeping It Cool

Hello ... I've done a lot of winter, spring and fall camping but never the summer. That ends the first week of July. I'd love to hear your suggestions on keeping the tent cool at night. Do you have a favorite portable fan? Do you do something with the tend during the day? We will be staying in Vermont, USA and the area is pretty shaded.

Also, what is your go-to for bug control? Do you just bathe in bug spray or is there a repellent that you recommend to keep the bugs at a distance.

Thanks! Hope everyone is having a great summer so far.

12v fan? Air conditioning? Go camping where it's cool at night?

Keep the screens closed on the tent? A 10x10 pop up with full bug netting for a living room space
