I am excited for a summer challenge and think this is a great way for me to hit my reading goals and explore some new books

I am thrilled about the upcoming Camp NetGalley. It's an exhilarating camp packed with many activities to enjoy. I am eagerly anticipating participating in the bingo games and I am looking forward to the spectacular talent show. Although this will be my inaugural experience, I am confident that the fun and enjoyment will be so immense that I will make a return visit next year. #CampNetGalley #NetGalley

I always enjoy a challenge! I get a little dopamine rush from completing tasks, so the bingo game seems like it's right up my alley.

I like the idea of tasks or goals to encourage reading through this site, but the bingo board doesn't encourage participation. I like the idea of the badge, but I wish there was another way to encourage engagement. If I think of anything concrete, I will update.

What a fun activity! I think the bingo board is so fun. I like the idea another reviewer had about possibly having 2 bingo boards - one specific to NetGalley and another just general bookish board. I think these interactive activities are a fun way for reviewers to get involved as well as a nice way for NetGalley to review some basics with users (like the updated toolbox, etc.)

I'm looking forward to seeing what all is on Camp NetGalley's itinerary!

What a fantastic packet of book-related fun! This idea is great for getting us to think about reading and have fun with others with the same hobby. I'm thinking that educators should think about a similar project in their classrooms. Thank you @NetGalley for the book-related fun!

I love the Bingo page, and I think more prompts like that would be fun. I also would have liked to see the announcement earlier so that I could plan for my social media posts. I'm excited to see how this goes!

Such a cute idea! The bingo card is a nice touch. It will be fun to add to my 2024 reading journal :)

I truly love the idea of Camp Netgalley. I love the bingo card and am looking forward to the prompts throughout the month. The only thing I believe would make this better is 2 bingo cards - one for prompts specific to netgalley and reviewing, and one for basic bookish prompts, like "a book with a queer main character" or "read a book completely outside", "read a graphic novel". I like having 2 separate things to work on! and maybe add some incentives to getting a bingo - maybe an automatic approval for a book of their choice (if possible) or work with a company to give coupon codes for their website to buy a book?

What a pleasant surprise! I haven't been able to log into NetGalley for a while, so it was great to come back and find a structured activity waiting for me. The camp format, with timed activity releases, keeps it from being overwhelming, and of course, who doesn't love a series of badges? I'm really looking forward to getting back into NetGalley with this fun, organized plan.

I love the summer camp extravaganza toolkit and activities - will be such fun.
Great way to engage with other readers across social media
Bingo, scavenger hunt and who doesn’t like collecting stickers.

Can’t wait to get started.

I love how NetGalley creates events we can participate in. I love the Bingo game and cannot wait for it to begin. I would like to see a challenge with genres or catagories for us to read and a reading goal to meet.

This is going to be so fun! I've already downloaded the packet, started to work on my instagram stories and bingo. Looking forward to a fun month at Camp NetGalley!

I love this idea and event! It seems to be a lot of fun, and I am so excited for all the activities I can partake in this month. NetGalley is so thoughtful in engaging their users.

I also love that we can engage with other readers on social media through this event. It's always great to meet new book besties.

This is such a fun idea and I absolutely love having a summer camp reading challenge like this. Just a fun event! :D Thank you for doing this for us. I can't wait to start working on the bingo card.

I think the part I liked the most about the Camp NetGalley welcome packet was the bingo board. I always find those a good way to switch up my reading, especially if I keep going to my usual reads. For next year, I think maybe prompts in a different format could be nice, or maybe categories like last year, and include the top 3-5 requested books over the last year or the top 3-5 for the upcoming year could also be interesting!
