What a fun idea! Loved the Bingo list and plan to find books for all the prompts! Looking forward to the rest of the summer camp activities like creating Mt banner with the reading journal stickers!

Some suggestions for next year would be book mark printables or something similar, and social media post prompts that we could post each week.

Thanks for this fun packet! A fun bookish packet for bookish people! This has me feeling like I'm in some type of book camp for real but virtual!

Thank you for hosting Camp NetGalley and making reading a fun social space! My favorite part about Camp NetGalley is engaging in a shared reading event with others who love reading (bingo boards, social media, badges for NetGalley profiles, etc.). I think allowing readers to earn badges is a fun way to encourage one another to share reviews we're proud of.

Keep up the great work, NetGalley Team! Also, KUDOS to the graphic designers for this launch. The colors are popping and the artwork is so pretty!

Thanks again,

I would encourage making camp more interactive! Encouraging readers and authors to connect, maybe through hosting live chats on social media and more post challenges, the bingo prompts were all over the place and made me not want to participate in those. I also think a month is too long, 1-2 weeks would be the sweetspot for this kind of campaign.

Such a fun little activity to do with NetGalley! I don't think I will be able to join in this summer, but this was fun to look through. It is well put together and the graphics are great!

This is a wonderful idea to bring together a community of book readers via NetGalley. I love the bingo and look forward to seeing the weekly challenges! I think for some healthy competition and camp vibes, the camp would benefit from a more interactive approach where participants could update the bingo/challenges online directly and win pages (a set number of pages could equal a book badge).

I think this is such a fun idea. I have always loved doing summer reading as a child and love that I can continue to do that as an adult. The bingo challenge is my favorite thing about this. I hope you do more things like this.

This is such a fun way to get involved with other users on Netgalley. So often I feel like I hit a reading slump mid summer and don't get to interact with other Netgalley users.

Great tool to make the most of your summer reading! I'm excited to get involved in all the special events.

I love this idea! Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet is full of fun activities for the month of July. NetGalley is the best! Thank you for making reading fun!

This is such a cute idea! It's a nice way to add a cute little activity to some reading this summer. I'm super excited to participate in this for the month of July!

I enjoyed this so much! All the cute fun activities and opportunities to earn badges for your accomplishments. I just love the idea of it and look forward to completing them as I go along this month!

It's a cute fun summer reading activity! July is a busy month for me, but I thought I'd give it a try.

Camp NetGalley was a lot of fun. I really loved doing the Bingo. July is always a heavy reading month for me as I am officially on summer break so I am able to get lots of reading in. Sometimes it is difficult to pick what I want to read so the Bingo made it a lot of fun as I tried to get Bingo in as many ways as I could. I love that each week there is something new to do. I also like that it is pushing me to become a better reviewer through the Book Advocate Toolkit. This is a fun way to kick off the summer.

Camp NetGalley is a nice booklet with accompanying events during July 2024. My work and summer events schedule ended up being too busy for me to participate as much as I wanted, but it's a grand idea. I love reading Bingo, and I'd love to see some Christian fiction related tasks. The board could definitely use FEWER woke and politically correct tasks. Reading is a lot more fun when the game isn't focused on playing politics.

I love this idea! It is great to be a part of NetGalley and Camp NetGalley brings such a fun sense of community to us readers! I love the intro template you created, and the optional games like Bingo. Creating a Talent Show is a great way to get reviewers to "up their game" and show off what they do best! Thanks for making NetGalley an ever better place!

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 :)
