I am so excited about Summer Camp! I love even virtual get togethers with other readers. I can't wait to get started on the BINGO card, I am going to get it all ready for my socials tomorrow. I look forward to each week's activities. For next year, some special social media graphics and maybe even an author appearance would be great!

This is a great idea, although I'm not sure how much of it I'll participate in. The scavenger hunt sounds fun!

Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet is a fun coordinating set of publicity materials, activities, prompts, and usable media for book reviewers, librarians, book professionals and allies written and provided by NetGalley's sister media company WeAreBookish. Released 1st July for book advocates, it's 9 pages and is available for free download via NetGalley.

I've been saying for years on all my social media posts and groups (I'm a *huge* book nerd) that I really wish NetGalley would bring back some limited edition badges and updated goals and "fun stuff" for folks active in book advocacy. They've heard us and this is a really nice addition.

This new activity set coordinates very well with 2022's book advocate toolkit materials, both aesthetically and with coordinating electronic stickers and a similar format.

Thoughtful little extras are always really well received by the book/reader communities and this is certainly no exception. Camp is set to run the entire month of July, and camp "attendees" will receive a special limited edition badge to show off on their profiles.

Three weeks of vacation from work, lots of cool drinks stocked, and a TBR pile to get through. Bring it on!

Five stars. Niche, but definitely nice.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

This sounds like so much fun! I’m most looking forward to Bingo. I feel like that kind of challenge helps broaden my reading horizons.

I think this is going to be a really fun event. I don’t know if this event is new, or if this has been done in years past. I usually work at a camp in the summer where I get very little service, so I can’t do anything on here. If this is a new tradition, that makes me super excited to see what’s going to happen in the future. Who knows? Maybe there will be other events as well if we’re getting this one.

This is such a fun and exciting way to get everyone more involved and participate in summer reading! I can't wait to complete challenges and play BINGO. I really feel like this will help with my summer reading slump I seem to get every year!

This is so exciting but next year, can it be a real camp?? I especially love the stickers and graphics.

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.
