I really like the idea of Camp NetGalley, where we get to go back to the nostalgia of having a summer reading challenge with the inclusion of a bingo card to encourage participation and ending with a talent show. The design is adorable with the camp graphics as well. I think it could be fun to expand the bingo card concept even further and perhaps create ones based on popular genre's? for example one for romance, fantasy, horror, etc to really get into the niche's and help guide readers who are engaged on social media fit their niche. Overall this is a great concept and I can't wait to see how it continues on over the years!

What a fun way to spend the summer, I look forward to playing bingo, and will update this review as the summer progresses!

Sending this review early, but I'll come back later with a link to review, because I hate having books sit in my que!

I know I am submitting early but wanted to say how much I have been enjoying the camp. My favorite part so far is the reading journal. I had no idea that was provide absolutely free. It is amazing and I can't wait to start using it.
I also wanted to include a suggestion for next year, although I would imagine this would be pretty hard to do. I think it would be fun to have a point value assigned to each activity. The point value per activity could be different depending on how hard or long the task took. There could also be a leader board for members to see how they are comparing to other members.

Love this idea. It is great to get some summer inspiration. Would love some more notice next year and I could plan my summer reading with it in mind :)

So excited to participate in this and see what the weekly challenges are! I always wanted to go to summer camp, and now I get to attend a bookish summer camp!

I love the idea of a camp-themed framework to encourage more summer reading!
While I may not complete the bingo board and I am not much for social media posting, I am still using them as inspiration. Anything that gets me thinking about what to read next (and exposes me to new books/authors) is always welcome.

As my Talent Show entry, here is a link to a review I posted earlier today for a NetGalley book I just finished reading the other night: https://www.netgalley.com/book/367905/review/569984

The idea of camp Netgalley is cool. I found out about this through the YouTube short. I'm most excited about the Camp Netgalley badge. I love the badges! I wish there were even more that I could collect on Netgalley.

This Camp NetGalley activity packet is so cute! I love all the different ways to track and share my love for reading. This flag was such a unique idea and I can’t wait to play Bingo!

Thank you NetGalley!

A good summer challenge that makes one do things instead of rotting in bed all day. Incentives to work for and goals to meet.

This is a must have for your summer reading! I'm looking forward to #CampNetGalley bingo and adding stickers to the packet.

This is such a fun event for NetGalley to be running! I’ve missed the library summary reading challenges I used to participate in when I was a kid. It’s so nice to be able to do something like that again. The bingo board is a great touch. Everyone loves a reading challenge! I would love to see more seasonal challenges from NetGalley, maybe ones that include exclusive ARC TBRs.
