Thank you so much for the Camp Netgalley program! My favorite things about the event are the bingo sheet and the talent show! I think rather than a blank decorative sheet, I would have liked something like a bookcase to add titles to, but that's my preference.
I have submitted my review on both NetGalley and Goodreads for the same title.
This is such a fun idea! I'd actually like to see these challenged more often than just for summer camp. Due to a medical e.ergwncy with my.child, I wasn't able to complete the first two sections on time, but I still had lots of fun.
I enjoyed the #CampNetGallery summer camp.
I loved the different activities and worksheets. So easy to follow and join in. It was fun and engaging.
My favourite was the bingo board and scavenger hunt.
I look forward to participating in future camps.
I’m submitting my review for The Altar Girls by Patricia Gibney.
The first book I reviewed on my Instagram page @allthingsbookswithclaire
I didn't really participate in all the things but I liked to see everyone else! Bit shy so definitely want to try it the next round. I get that NetGalley is largely and probably firstly a US centred company but it would've been nice to see some stuff for the Southern Hemisphere people - as not all of us are in the summer season in July.
Other than that it was fun! Hoping there's more things in the future! Some of the things I was a bit confused by but I get that first times are a bit confusing and am fine with being confused
super fun thing and i'm glad i checked it out but i wasn't able to fully commit. Too many personal issues to review this month.
What a fun way to engage with NetGalley! I joined late, but it was so fun to see other people participating in July and then joining in myself!
It would be really fun next year to incorporate some sort of point system for reviewing books and getting feedback submitted/increasing ratio for some sort of bookish giveaway. I also know I struggle to post on retail sites sometimes (always on Goodreads though), so maybe some sort of challenge/guidance/tracking sheet for submitting reviews across multiple platforms.
Thanks We Are Bookish for organizing and putting this together! :)

This was so fun! I think all activities here are really nice to do. I would suggest to try to involve more social media activities such a film a review of your favorite read of the month or interact with instagram templates made by netgalley, i think it would involve the community more.
A cute and fun (and free!) camp-themed reading activity journal that will encourage you to read more this summer.
I love summer reading challenges/programs so I'm really enjoying this idea!!! This is such a fun and creative way to enjoy a summer camp without really going to a summer camp. I hope this becomes a yearly event. Thank you, NetGalley!

I really didn’t participate in Camp. I kind of thought things were confusing. Not sure if I will do it next year. And only really reviewing don’t doesn’t mess with my ratio.
I think I’m suppose to post a review I liked that I did during the time of camp. So that’s what I’ll do.
I would like to thank NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing me with this interactive journal in exchange for an honest review. The activities are super fun
This summer camp was so much fun! I really loved the different activities, the worksheets, and the community. Now I just wish it was real.
Camp Netgalley looked like fun and I was incentivised to join in by the promise of a badge BUT it proved so complicated! I would rather be reading books than putting in all the effort required to work out how Camp Netgalley functions and it seemed more like a chore than a joy. It's a shame, because a lot of effort must have gone into it. Maybe a bit more user testing would have been helpful before launching this.
I had been away from Net Galley for a while and took the #CampNetGalley challenge as a way to get back in the rhythm. The book was very helpful and inspiring, the fun attitude was encouraging and I have now downloaded the app and have two more books to review.
The welcome packet was refreshing and I felt motivated to download the stickers and the journal. I was so impressed I wrote a blog post about it and encouraged others to get involved via my FB page. It was just what I needed to get back my passion for reading but also SHARING books and reviews.
Camp NetGalley was a lot of fun! I loved that the packet had different activities going on each week and I loved the Bingo Board! I really enjoy reading games like that, so I hope you do a Bingo again next year! I would love if it was for the full summer next year instead of just for one month!
I'm submitting my review for Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto. I absolutely loved this book and am so happy I got the ARC from NetGalley!
Fun concept, I just didn't have much time to complete the tasks. Great execution from NetGalley and I hope to participate more in the future.
Great idea! Love the bingo board! Look at my Goodreads Account www.goodreads.com/monicalovestoread
.I post reviews there and on litsy and Instagram!
So this is my first Camp NetGalley, so this year I was mostly a stalker observing how everyone interacted with the program. That being said, it did prompt me to follow NetGalley on Instagram, which was a big step in the right direction. I expect the tips and ideas I’ve picked up will be helpful as I begin engaging more with NetGalley and social media.

WHAT A FUN SUMMER GAME! Thanks to Netgalley for making the summer fun with this game and the included prompts. The addition of the badge is really exciting.
