Camp NetGalley is a great way for readers to boost their participation! All of the activities are fun and easy to access.
I'm excited to be participating in it!

Camp NetGalley is a great way for new and returning NetGalley readers to increase their reading participation. I like the idea of belonging to a larger community by completing these tasks alongside other readers. The instructions were easy to understand and as a new community member, I especially liked the linked content with further tips and tricks for me.

Camp Netgalley is very cute. I like the idea of a scavenger hunt, though I have to remember to check for the hints. I think it would be helpful to have the hints via email also! I am excited to get the camp netgalley badge, though I’m not clear who can see it. It would be helpful to understand if publishers look for it or if it means something like preferred access or something like that!

I’ve already picked out the review for the talent show. I like that this option includes reviews outside of NetGalley, even though I will be using one that is on NetGalley!

I love that this is such a fun way to get involved with Netgalley and other bookish friends! I just downloaded my camp templates and stickers and I’m going to make friends with other campers! There is a lot of information so I have to make sure I don’t miss anything! This is the fun version of summer reading assignments.

Camp NetGalley is a really fun idea! The welcome packet does a great job outlining how to participate and the events for the month. The bingo card is great and will encourage reviewers to be more active on NetGalley. I love the resources that are provided and the super cute stickers. I am excited to earn the final camp badge at the end of the month. There are a couple of things I would love to see implemented next time -- it would be fun for the bingo game to be for the entire month instead of just one week, especially since a few of the spaces require reading books, reviewing, and raising our NetGalley ratio. A week may not be enough time for everyone to accomplish those tasks. It would also be fun to have more interactive activities for each week. Bingo and the scavenger hunt are perfect, but they are only for two of the weeks. The last two weeks are tasks that can be done in a couple of hours and don't require a week. I love the idea of interacting via a hashtag. I would also love to see the NetGalley Instagram account share posts by members in their stories. Lastly, having different images for members to create original content about the camp and post it on their Instagram feeds and stories would be cool.

New to camp and a bit overwhelmed currently, but very excited!
So many activities I don't even know where to start :)

This packet is fantastic! I would love to implement parts of this in my high school and college curriculum! I especially like the bingo card and the Talent Show. What a fun way to add spark to summer reading!

This is so incredibly fun! I am already enjoying seeing all of the posts and interacting with new bookish accounts. I look forward to participating in the weeks to come.

First time at Netgalley camp! Can’t wait to collect new buttons and do some reading challenges! I’m hoping I can keep up since this does sound like a fun challenge.

I'm very new to Netgalley, which means that I'm a newbie to Summer Camp. I really feel that I'm going to enjoy challenging myself this month. I can't wait to get started on my Bingo Card! I feel confident that anyone who participates in Netgalley Summer Camp will have soo much fun!

This is such a cute idea! I love the talent show aspect! It would be cool if next time you add more creative options as well like maybe a bookish arts and crafts or photography! For those who like more creative outlets along with their books!

This is such a cute way to get people reading and reviewing for the summer! The bingo card has some great challenges for the summer and they've given me some ideas to challenge my coworkers with for summer reading. The stickers are also very cute. I appreciate that the packet also links to We Are Bookish as the website has a lot of resources for NetGalley reviewers.

So many summer challenges! I already finished the local library challenge and here comes NetGalley threatening me with more fun. I like the bingo board, because the challenges to fill spaces are fun. Thanks to NetGalley for basically having summer camp.

What a fun way to immerse yourself in summer reading and be an active member of the NetGalley community! I love playing book bingo because it helps me choose a book from my never-ending TBR.

Great idea for book lovers. Templates are great to share with friends to see what you are reading over the summer

Unfortunately, I wont be participating in this camp :( I'm going on a vacation and will not be active on my socials during this time - maybe next year!

Camp NetGalley looks like it will be a fun and interactive way for avid readers to find extra joy in reading books, reviewing them, and connecting with others. It's like summer camp, but tailored to those of us who enjoy a good book more than most activities! This Welcome Packet includes a weekly agenda of activities to participate in, a bingo board of bookish prompts, and information on how to earn an exclusive Camp NetGalley 2024 badge. I'm excited to participate in the talent show, too!
