I really like the idea of this. ...but I feel overall execution was not as good as the NetGalley Reading Journal.
I cannot print stickers...but I would have liked the images on a printable paper sheet as I could have cut them out and glued them into my reading journal...so the alternative options would be nice.
Overall the bingo and concept was a great way to engage readers to pick up more ARCs in the summer months. I think a two month summer reading would have been great....for July and August, that would have given me more time to work on bingo etc.
I would love an event like this in winter. Not during Nov-Dec, as holiday time is always busy. But maybe Jan-Feb....Winter Adventures.
A Map would also be a good option....versus the bingo. Doesn't have to be a real map....but like a doodle one...dots connecting 4-6 various topic circles. Find a book that fits the topic... each topic getting progressively more narrowed. First one could be, pick a book with a favorite color...pick a book related to summer, pick a book from one of our camp options (I know publishers supply limited copies, but it they could also promote more indie-type books and push netgalley subscribers toward variety of titles/genres etc)
Love the idea of a summer camp book club.
Can't wait to see all the fun activities and meet folks un the romance a d thriller bunk house.
The regular activities on social media were a great touch and kept it fun.
I think this is a great idea, I'm just finding that I've been too busy with other things. I am trying to get my reviews done instead. Maybe I'll try it next year if you do it again. I would also recommend maybe doing something like this in the winter months.
This is such a great idea! I enjoyed how NetGalley did this to give people something extra to do that was fun. Unfortunately I wasn’t not the best at checking Instagram next time I will out notification on for their page so I can see when they post things! I hope you guys do it again!
I was excited about this idea but I don’t think the event turned out to be what I had pictured in my mind. I wish it was a bit more interactive and I guess I was thinking more of like a book club, so that could be my mistake.
This was such a great idea! I would love to participate in something like this again. I just wish I saw it earlier since I ended up missing some of the weeks.
This is such a neat idea! I'm bummed I didn't find it until late July so I wasn't able to participate more. Would love to participate in something like this again.
Such a cool way to interact with Netgalley readers. I loved the Bingo sheet that was provided along with the Camp Netgalley sticker sheet. I cannot wait to earn my badge for Camp Netgalley! A cool crossword would be nice to see for certain book words, or anything Netgalley related.
I’ve enjoyed Camp NetGalley. I loved the bingo board & the thought of the talent show! I love the overall theme of a summer camp of NetGalley. However, I wish there had been even more interactive activities that everyone can participate in!
This is such a neat idea! I'm bummed I didn't find it until July 26th to be able to participate more. Would love to participate in something like this again maybe during 'winter break' when things slow down again.
I loved this idea. I wanted it to work, but for me, I just couldn't figure out how to incorporate it. Maybe I'm not quite immersed enough in the community....I thought the activities were super fun, but I couldn't figure out how to use it on my current social media platforms. That's ok. I saw posts from those who did! I will continue to learn & maybe next year I'll be better for it!
Such a fun idea, thank you to the organizers!! I really appreciated all the hard work that went into the weekly tasks/challenges and the other details that went into it.
This was SUCH A FUN TIME!!! I really enjoyed doing a lot of the weekly things. I was on vacation and sick the last two weeks but I'm trying to catch up. I hope you guys do more things like this in the future!! Maybe a seasonal thing can happen. Definitely would help get me into a more reading mood during those long, cold winter months.

I'm really proud of this review because the story helped me reconnect with what I love about reading in the SW.
Fun trend! Brings me back to the days of summer reading club at the library. Maybe make it a seasonal thing? Winter Camp?
This was a super fun July event! I loved the Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet and all the corresponding activities on social media (the scavenger hunts last week were a special favorite, as was the NetGalley bingo). As always, NetGalley puts together a beautiful, easy to follow booklet -- I love all the care that their design team puts into creating these. If this becomes a yearly event, I will be beyond thrilled. Many thanks to NetGalley for doing this!
I really enjoyed participating in Camp Netgalley so far! I loved participating in the bingo the most. It was a fun way to expand my TBR. I'd definitely participate in future netgalley challenges.
I think the idea for Camp Netgalley was very cool, though not executed in the best way. I'd much rather the activities were fully online.
It was a fun idea and I wanted the stamp but this summer is getting away from me and I just totally forgot about it. Hopefully next time I will be readily available to participate.
Great idea to get the book community together and sharing stories as they complete activities. I have really enjoyed my experience on NetGalley and love quirky takes to take part in.
