This is so a great idea for readers in the summer time. I was so excited when I saw the email! I feel like I am getting the "Summer Camp" experience since I never got to go to camp in the summer. Great Job Netgalley!! My favorite part is earning badges

I like the idea of this initiative and I am finding it motivating to engage with NetGalley more than the usual requests and feedback. I am still a bit confused and would love to see a more streamlined engagement approach in future years. I also wish I had known about this earlier in the year and could have prepared with requests and just a general anticipation. Some of the stickers and virtual items don't make a lot of sense to me but perhaps it works for other content creators and reviewers.

This is an excellent initiative. Although I am joining a bit late, I am very eager to participate. The provided packet clarified the process, and the links were quite helpful. As a newcomer to the Netgalley community, I look forward to continuing my journey of reading and reviewing alongside my fellow bibliophiles.

Whether you're a longtime NetGalley member or just getting started, this online summer camp extravaganza is the perfect way to immerse yourself in all things bookish during the month of July 2024.

First, the included activities are really cute, and I had a lot of fun using some of them (such as bingo) on my social media channels to interact with my audience.

I also enjoy the concept behind the Talent Show. Submitting a review for the Welcome Packet and sharing a link to my favourite book review felt like a fun challenge. It pushed me to reflect on what I loved reading this year and to showcase a review I’m really proud of.

As for next year, I’d love to see even more interactive elements, like live virtual author Q&As or book club discussions. Maybe even a scavenger hunt that takes us through different genres or themes!

This is such an awesome idea. I have downloaded the packet and read over everything. Cannot wait to explore more.

Such a super fun idea! I'm a little late to the party but I'm super excited about participating. The packet made the process more clear and the links were helpful. As a relative newbie to the Netgalley family, I cannot wait to continue reading and reviewing with all my fellow bibliophiles.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this Welcome Packet! Super informative for someone who is just starting out. :)

I was super confused on what Camp NetGalley was, but I'm so thrilled that I actually took a chance to check it out.
The welcome packet was absolutely adorable and did a great job of explaining what Camp NetGalley was.
I think for next year, there should be several more activities to participate in, along with maybe a Camp NetGalley Summer Reading guide where NetGalley and participants submit a several books to read (optional of course) for the month that CNG is going on.

Super excited to be more involved next year!

This was so cute!! Maybe there could be community events next time? I liked the PDF, although it was a bit long. Also having the Camp NetGalley in the books that we review is a little awkward to me. But I loved the idea!

How Fun! Thanks NetGalley!

Delightful and fun. Camp NetGalley is a fun reading challenge provided by We Are Bookish for the month of July.

It's in my shelf, so I feel like I need to :)

What an exciting challenge! NetGalley does a wonderful job coming up with fun things and resources to promotoe reading and community. This is something I am definitely enjoying and looking forward to.

Camp Netgalley is a cute virtual event with free weekly activities like bingo, a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and more! The guide instructions were clear and concise, reading it in under 5 minutes.

Potential ideas for next year: Camp Netgalley merch that can be ordered ahead of time, in person events like a barbecue, giveaways (e.g., netgalley books or physical books, stickers, tote bag, hat, etc.).

I quite love the idea of a community event like this, because I find that they encourage many positives from tackling items on one's TBR list to discovering new works that may fall outside of typical choices. Although it's been fun to follow along with each week, I do think that this would benefit from a more interactive design, such as a specific page or "hub" dedicated to events like this. Rather than having every activity released at once, readers could really have that engaging experience, having the challenges and rewards revealed over time. This would also further emulate that camp-like feeling, as well as incentivize gradual progress as opposed to having that "everything all at once" approach, which often leads to people seeing something once and then never again.

In short: this is a wonderful idea! There is, however, a little bit to desire on the execution.

Camp NetGalley is a fun event to encourage reading and doing reviews. There is BINGO, a Scavenger Hunt, stickers and other fun activities! The completion gets the participants a new NetGalley badge!

This is so cute and fun! I love the Bingo board and will definitely be using that! I like that there are multiple ways to interact with NetGalley that I didn’t realize were accessible. Please have more themed activities like this in the future!!

This is a fun way to get some more books read on your TBR list. The Bingo card is a good reminder that it’s never too late to read and review those books that are the oldest on your shelf. It also encourages reading books outside your usual genres, supporting BIPOC authors, and even choosing a book based solely on the cover just for fun. I’m most excited about the scavenger hunt this week although I have no idea what to expect! I’m enjoying this fun summer edition and like that it’s structured so that people can participate to their level of comfort and availability.

This is such a cute and fun idea, I love all the interactive challenges especially the bingo! It's a nice welcome into the NetGalley community and I hope there will be more themed activities like this throughout the year.

This is a concise summary of ways to interact with NetGalley. Instructions are simple and straightforward, as well as intriguing enough to make people want to participate just for personal enjoyment.

This is such a good idea! I love the little challenges. They’re easy enough that anyone can complete them. And it makes reading that little bit more exciting for everyone! #campnetgalley!
