Camp NetGalley is the place to be this summer. What a fun and inventive way to read more books. Looking forward to participating in all the events.

I looove the idea of this. Camp NetGalley?! An immediate sign me up. It’s great for engagement too and even though my love for NetGalley is already x1000, the fact they have done this has won me over even more.

The downloadable content is great, with an easily digestible design and not too much overwhelming information to bamboozle you. Bingo cards, stickers etc.. are all great and I’ll keep an eye out for socials too to see what’s what. My only caveat is I was a little confused in giving feedback and providing links etc.. to qualify for badges and for full engagement. I was left with a little ‘unsure but hope I’m doing it right!’ Kinda feeling but I’m going with the flow.

I’d be excited to see how they’d develop the ideas in future camps and I’m really excited to see this return in the future. (Also, they know what they’re doing. Earn a badge for my profile?! I will jump through BURNING HOOPS! Love it)

With the amount of people engaging with this, I’d also love the chance to engage with others also partaking and any excuse for a book talk and a chinwag about anticipated books and authors would be great as apart of this camp too.

Thanks for creating a camp for all us NetGalley members. Wonderful idea!

This is gonna be so much fun to do over the summer. I’m super moody when picking my books so the bingo board is gonna help me pick what to read!

This is such a fun idea! I enjoy the weekly challenges and the set up is really easy to follow. Thank you NetGalley for always thinking of ways to keep even the most avid readers engaged.

I haven't figured it all out (bothers my OCD) but willing to attend camp. I agree with other reviewers a bit more detail would be good.

Such a fun idea!! I love the bingo, although it's difficult to share on social platforms since it downloads as a PDF. My recommendation for next year is to have fewer activities or make them a bit more clear, they were hard to follow.

Excited for summer bingo! It's a good opportunity to update my profile and catch up on reviews. I have a lot of books on my tbr.

Favorite Things About Camp NetGalley:

As a first-time participant, I was excited to join NetGalley. The themed challenges and interactive activities made reading feel fresh and engaging. I loved discovering new genres and authors, and the sense of community among fellow book lovers was inspiring.



To make Camp NetGalley even better, I suggest creating a "New Reviewer Spotlight" section. This would give new reviewers like myself a chance to share our first reviews and get constructive feedback. Workshops on effective review writing and gaining followers would also be helpful.



Adding more interactive elements, like live Q&A sessions with authors or NetGalley Workers and virtual book club meetings, could make the camp even more immersive. Recognition for milestones achieved during the camp would add extra motivation.
