I love this idea! I think a community “summer camp” is a great way to encourage readers to engage and share throughout the summer. Next year it would be nice to have it start in June rather than July to give us more time to read and review. Great idea!

Camp NetGalley is such a fun idea that really invites us readers to feel more like a community rather than a solo reviewer speaking into the void!

The activities are lighthearted and fun, making it feel like a true virtual summer camp exciting experience.

I think these activities would have a greater impact in the NetGalley platform if reviewers had a space to connect with other reviewers on this site itself. When sharing these items on social media, there is a chance to connect with other like-minded individuals and NetGalley members, but those unfamiliar with what NetGalley is might feel like this task is a little irrelevant to them. Just some food for thought :)

I love the concept of Camp NetGalley! It lines up with Camp NaNoWriMo, which I'm taking part in this month, and the fun activities planned seem to bring more of a community feel to NetGalley, which is something the site is missing at the moment. The weekly activities are a great way to add some excitement to using NetGalley, and the profile badge is a lovely touch too.

This sounds like a really fun summer activity with interesting prompts! I'll try to keep up with each week!

The Bingo card is probably my favourite thing! Would love to see it make a return next year, as well as maybe move the prompt activity earlier up in weeks ? Or make the prompts a weekly thing rather than daily during a week.

Anyway, love it!

What a great idea! I hope I can stay up to date with this, I would love to be part of it! I just looked at the PDF and once again NetGalley just made something really sweet for its members! Thank you!

I post about books for an audience that consists primarily of non-bookstagrammers/netgalley members, so this felt a little irrelevant in my particular case. A fun idea for those who have larger bookstagram accounts!

This is a very cool idea and I love finding new ways of reading more and the book bingo is very intriguing. Thank you Netgalley for creating this

This looks fun! There’s an activity for each week of July, including, but not limited to book bingo and a talent show. I’m looking forward to completing this.

I love the Book Bingo! I think more theme-focused games like that would be fun -- maybe next year, there could be a sort of board game style setup where to move forward a square, you complete that square's prompt. For example, like imagine the Candyland board game map - but with each colored block for movement dedicated to a different reading prompt, like "A book that starts with a Y".

I also really liked the badge idea, I just wish there were more of those! Sort of like a Summer Camp or Boy/Girl Scouts badges thing, where we can collect them for reading different books / completing prompts.

I love a good reading challenge, so when NetGalley created this fun camp packet I had to jump on the bandwagon. It has simple steps to follow and a fun bingo sheet to complete. I am looking forward to each weeks challenges and hopefully broaden my reading horizons for this last stretch of summer.
Thank you NetGalley for creating Camp NetGalley packet.

What a clever way to get reviewers engaged and active! This reminds me of my Girl Scout camp days, although it is done individually and remotely. It is a cute idea, and the activities are simple enough to incorporate into my month.

I love this concept! As someone who just signed up to Net Galley after a friend recommended it I’ve felt a little overwhelmed. This is a nice easy start into the world of net galley reviews :)

I recently read the physical arc for Immortal Dark - this is my review :) https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6619383563

Camp NetGalley is a fun, interactive summer reading / reviewing challenge that is sure to engage all reviewers in the activities. I’m really looking forward to completing all of the summer camp activities.

Thanks to NetGalley for creating this awesome camp experience.

This is such a fun thing to do to celebrate summer and maybe get back on track with reading and reviewing my arcs.
