I thought the idea of the event was cute, I love a summer camp vibe and theme so the branding for this really caught my attention. I was hoping there were more ways for us to connect to fellow NetGalley reviewers, maybe specific channels in Discord servers could work, as I feel it's hard to connect to NetGalley users on other platforms as many people don't prefer to reach out to others of their own accord.

I also think giveaways or other incentives to participate would be fun, maybe even having prizes that can be sent to the first few people who complete certain challenges or events for Camp NetGalley.

Overall a very cute idea, I'll definitely participate in a few of the social media events going on throughout the summer!

The Camp NetGalley Welcome Pack is a delightful invitation to join in some fabulous social reading activities.

The middle of the year is often a time of reading slumps - northern hemisphere folk are outside doing summery activities, while those of us in the southern hemisphere are shivering through the winter doldrums. These activities in the Camp NetGalley Welcome Pack are designed to bring both together for some bookish fun.

This is my first Camp NetGalley, and I'm really looking forward to the bookish bingo and scavenger hunts! 😁

For the talent portion of the camp, I humbly submit my review of A Love Song for Ricki Wilde by Tia Williams: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6190250340

Excited to participate! Already doing well on the Bingo card since one book fulfilled a couple slots. :D But lots more reading to get to!

A great interactive welcome packet, hopefully it includes more community-based activities where the reviewers can interact with each other

So excited to participate in Camp NetGalley for the first time! My goal is to read and review all the books on my NetGalley TBR!

Favorite things about the event:
- The bingo card is such a cool idea!
- The scavenger hunt on week 3 sounds like it's going to be so much fun

Ideas for next year:
- If your team chooses a review to post, would you consider tagging their socials or linking their Goodreads page?
- You could also ask that anyone whose review you feature, posts a feature on Netgalley for their followers talking about what it is and how to join!

Im sorry I clicked in this too early and really meant to download the instructions before I decided to complete or not to complete the quest.

Thank you for this fun set of activities ! Cant wait to do these and earn badges. Who knew I’d be in a talent show as an adult. Such a fun set of activities. Hopefully it doesn’t make it harder to get books now ? Like if we don’t have enough badges or something?

I’ve been a part of NetGalley but this is my first time to participate in Camp NetGalley and I’m super excited! Since this is my first time - I don’t have any recommendations but would love to give some at the end!! Thank you for the opportunity!

I am so excited to participate in the challenge this summer. My reviews could use some work and the challenges with Camp NetGalley will be so helpful and insightful.

This is such a cool idea! I love the bingo, but I'm definitely most excited about the stickers.
I also really like that the reviews for the talent show can be from any time period not just books read during the challenge.

I LOVE this idea! This reminds me a little bit of the summer reading camps at the library from when I was a kid/teenager (which I adored). I look forward to utilizing this guide and participating in the games! Link was added below.

One of my love languages just so happens to be talking about books! Using NetGalley is a perfect way to reach new readers and discuss books that take us into new worlds, on new journeys, and meet new characters. NetGalley is a perfect space to access books that may have never been on my radar before, which, as a reader, is always enlightening for me.

I love the idea of Camp NetGalley. In the future it would be cool if there were Camp NetGalley-specific giveaways to incentivize more traction. Can’t wait to see how it grows.

I am looking forward to participating in Camp NetGalley because it seems like a super fun way to interact with the platform in a different manner than I usually do! :)
