I got the email about Camp NetGalley this morning and had to come check it out. I read through the Welcome Packet and it made me very excited to join in with everyone! I thought the welcome packet walked you through everything very nicely and I cannot wait to participate. It was nice that they had everything you will need in one download.

I am most excited for the bingo!

This is a cute idea to get more people engaged throughout the summer. I am not sure about the extent to which I'll continue to participate-- I already have my summer reading plan and goals set this year. I think it would be cool to see some more engagement opportunities. I see someone suggested a read along, which I like. What about a virtual book club?

This looks so fun!
My biggest suggestion a bigger and wider hype campaign before the event starts, I was lucky I noticed the email this morning!
Otherwise I love the bingo board and stickers available for download. I keep a reading journal and have for years so this is all going straight in there. Hopefully this will also help those people who like to gamify their reading and stats to make up for some arcs and reviews they're behind on!

I absolutely love this idea on getting more intentional reading and reviewing through NetGalley. The items like the bingo and talent show are great. I would like to maybe see something like a read along included in the future.

Thank you for providing this activity. I think this activity will help to link in with other readers, although there could be more activities included which engages with others. I look forward to participating in activities and seeing others thoughts. I like that the participants will get awarded with a badge and the idea of the talent show. It definitely looks like fun and I look forward to getting involved!

This is such a fun idea! I am looking forward to seeing all the posts and reviews about this event. I do think there is a lot more potential in this that could be taken advantage of. For next year, it would be fun to have competitions for ARCS that are limited in quantity. They could be review writing competitions, or photoshoot comps. There are lots of options! It would also be nice to have a few online panels discussing different aspects of being a book advocate, like how to write a review. (That's something I've been wanting to improve on for a while, but I'm not sure where to start!) Having live events would also increase visibility for the event as well.

Now it's time to debate whether or not a book I DNFed and left a scathing review for is appropriate for the talent show, haha. It would definitely stand out, but I think I'll stick to a positive review.

This is exciting & will keep me engaged this summer! A more fun version of school summer reading! The only thing missing is the free personal pan pizza 🤣

Thank you NetGalley for giving us Camp NetGalley! This is so much fun, and I cannot wait to complete all the tasks and get my badge!

This is going to give me such a boost this summer, when typically I tend to go into slumps.

Fun little idea. Looking forward to the challenges. Will be good to get some hype around reading and reviewing

Camp Netgalley? Sign me in! I love summer camps and I had to join this one! I'm really excited to read all my arcs throughout the month and engage with all of the other readers!

Hey NetGalley! I love the idea of this and would love it if NetGalley had more events like this during the year. This is a good start, but I would be worried about engagement trickling off during the month. The activities included in the packet are good, but you need a way to keep up engagement so we remember to participate/post about it. Kindle has surprise prompts/reading challenges each quarter that are only released on a certain date which help keep my interest. The badge is a definite plus! I love adding badges to my account on NetGalley.

What a fun idea NetGalley! Looking forward to connecting with fellow NetGalley lovers throughout the month.
