Camp NetGalley is such a fun summer reading program! I loved the useful information, and as others mentioned, this totally gave me local Library Summer Reading challenge vibes 🙌

this month has been total garbage for me, but Camp NetGalley brought a little bit of sunshine and really brightened up my month and gave me something to look forward to <3 i'd really like for this to happen agaikn.

This was my first time joining Camp NetGalley and I wasn't sure what to expect. I only downloaded this Welcome Packet at the end of July so I missed out on most of the fun, but I'm intrigued to follow along for next year.

The new Book Advocate Toolkit from Week 3 was, hands down, my favourite part of this Camp, though the badge to the profile is a fun bonus!

This looks like such a fun reading activity for the summer! Since I am starting later, there are some activities I missed. I love the Bingo activity and feel this is a great way to reach different reading goals. I hope NetGalley decides to do this again next year because I would love to be able to participate in the full camp!

This challenge is giving me public library summer reading vibes. I’ve enjoyed reading outside all summer and hope this new participation badge helps publishers see I’m passionate about books.

This online summer camp extravaganza by We Are Bookish is super fun. The welcome packet is useful in helping expand your online presence—who doesn’t love bingo and free stickers, am I right? I think the graphic design of this packet is aesthetically pleasing, too!

Really helpful information, as always. Useful graphics with ideas on how to organize your reading logs for your audience.

Camp NetGally is a great idea! This pages were cute and had a little interaction in them. I wish I had more time to participate!

Camp NetGalley was super fun! I wish I had the time to participate more. I loved the bingo and the scavenger hunt! I thought they were good ways to engage on social media. Can't wait to participate again next year.

The Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet provided some great tips. I really enjoyed the planned out weekly activities and BINGO boardgame.

New NetGalley user here. Camp sounds like it'll be lots of fun, even if I am joining late! I'll try and see if I can complete a Bingo even if I don't make it by the deadline.

Perhaps it would be fun to have a "Camp NetGalley"-esque festival for each season. That sounds like it would be fun and raise engagement on the site.

This definitely has some great potential. I do wish it had some more interacting with others. Even chats so I could get excited with other people about my bingo card, or brainstorm ideas for some of the prompts. For example, I read a book from NetGalley earlier this year that took place at a summer camp, but I didn’t have anything that could work for that spot now.

Who doesn't love a good throwback to summer camp? These weekly activities are great; I can never turn down a bingo card. What a great way to boost engagement.

I love the idea of Camp Netgalley, I think it was done really creatively and has been so much fun to participate in. I especially love bingo challenges and all the little events through Instagram. I look forward to seeing it continue!

I loved participating in Camp NetGalley this past month! I really enjoyed all the activities they set up especially the BINGO and Scavenger Hunts.

I thought it's a great idea to give out badges for participating because it made me more motivated to add to my NetGalley badge collection.

Looking forward to Camp NetGalley next summer!

I love getting excited about books! I love talking about books and reading books. I love collecting stickers, too, which makes this activity extra fun! I have no notes to improve Camp Netgalley. It's just so much fun already!

Enjoyed this! Thanks for a short few pages and something fun to do! This is part of what makes NetGalley so great. Unique experiences and solid novels to choose from. Really looking forward to using this for years to come.

A huge thank you to Netgalley for this - while it was not exactly what I was expecting, it was a lot of fun. I wish I had more time to participate in the entire event and hope this becomes an annual event.

I enjoyed the concept of camp netgalley and seeing everyone else who was participating in it an having fun! Unfortunately I wasn't able to participate as much as I wanted due to life happening, but I really liked the bingo concept and thought that it was fun! I will say that some of the goals would be really hard to accomplish if a person reads more slowly so maybe incorporating more general tiles like 'make a list of your favorite genre books' or just other goals that you don't have to finish an entire book for.

For the talent show I'm submitting one of the first reviews I ever wrote on netgalley! IT got featured on the Netgalley page for that book and got featured in one of the author's social media posts!
