Fun idea! Kind of like a combination book club & reading challenge…without the pressure of being told what you should be reading! Looking forward to starting.

Love the idea of Camp NetGalley! The email about it was enough to make me take the plunge to join NetGalley even though I don't have a lot of book review experience. I'm looking forward to completing the activities over the month of July. Next year I would recommend a way for people to join teams. I've attached one of my first reviews versus just rating a book.

What a cute way to have more fun things to do on Netgalley and during the summer time! I can't wait to participate.

This is a cute way to help people out with their reviewed %! To make it even better next year, I suggest a competitive team based competition. After all, what’s summer camp without a little rivalry between cabins / troops?

The team that submits the most reviews each week could unlock printables or additional sweepstakes entries

What a fun way to get people more involved in NetGalley!

As someone new to this platform, I really appreciate the engagement opportunities it provides. I’m excited to continue participating in the various activities throughout the month!

I’m so excited for this event and the chance to interact with other NetGalley users! I am looking forward to the events (especially the scavenger hunt) and I think the stickers are so fun! I love the chance to have a review featured as well.

For next year, I think it might be neat to do an event on live, maybe like a “fireside bookish chat.” Where you could go live in front of a bonfire and users could all interact with you and each other in the chat, discussing books, genres, reviewing, tropes and all things bookish! I think it would be a great opportunity to connect with members of the community, as well as connect those members with each other!

Thank you for offering this event, I’m so excited to participate!

I love the idea of camp netgalley! It reminds me a lot of Nanowrimo and I look forward to getting to that bingo card. I hope it doesn’t affect our review score- but I love the idea!

I absolutely love the Camp Netgalley Welcome Packet. First, the idea of a summer camp themed after a love of books is beyond unique and something I wish I had when I was growing up. The idea of activities, books reviews, badges/stickers and even a talent show is so much fun! I also love how this ties into the Netgalley Reading Journal as well. Also, the summer camp ends on my birth date, so this is extra fun for me.

I really like this guide and love this idea for summer! I was really excited to get the email from NetGalley. I love that NetGalley is working on making ARC reading more fun for readers and it also seems to be connecting readers on social media more especially today! I love that the guide provides a bingo card and other fun ideas!

I absolutely love the concept of Camp NetGalley and am super excited to complete my bingo board before the end of the month! I especially loved all of the templates on Instagram that I can add to my stories to participate and interact with. A review I’m proud of is linked below!

Fun idea. I especially like the bingo card, should be fun to play along! I am a little concerned that my review percentage will be affected if I don’t review it though.

Fun summer book event. Can't wait to participate in the events and reading. So much to do and interesting qualifiers.

This is such a fun idea! I loved reading challenges as a kid so this with the camp theme is a bit nostalgic. Can't wait to get out my hammock, hang it up between two trees, and dive into a good book.

My fave NetGalley reads this year are Savor It by Tarah Dewitt and The Honey Witch by Sydney J. Shields! I'm definitely in the Romance & Fantasy Bunk at Camp NetGalley.

Camp NetGalley is such a fun idea for readers looking for a July readathon/bingo inspiration. I like the many additional options to participate in, such as the talent show and the sticker bundle!

This is a great way to learn more about NetGalley functions for newer ARC reviewers, or for us veterans to have a fun excuse to prioritize boosting our ratios!

What a fun idea!! Love this way to get readers engaged! It would be fun to incorporate games like the Starbucks app does and reward readers!
