This is a wonderful idea to bring together a community of book readers via NetGalley. I love the bingo and look forward to seeing the weekly challenges! I think for some healthy competition and camp vibes, the camp would benefit from a more interactive approach where participants could update the bingo/challenges online directly and win pages (a set number of pages could equal a book badge).

I think this is such a fun idea. I have always loved doing summer reading as a child and love that I can continue to do that as an adult. The bingo challenge is my favorite thing about this. I hope you do more things like this.

This is such a fun way to get involved with other users on Netgalley. So often I feel like I hit a reading slump mid summer and don't get to interact with other Netgalley users.

Great tool to make the most of your summer reading! I'm excited to get involved in all the special events.

I love this idea! Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet is full of fun activities for the month of July. NetGalley is the best! Thank you for making reading fun!

This is such a cute idea! It's a nice way to add a cute little activity to some reading this summer. I'm super excited to participate in this for the month of July!

I enjoyed this so much! All the cute fun activities and opportunities to earn badges for your accomplishments. I just love the idea of it and look forward to completing them as I go along this month!

It's a cute fun summer reading activity! July is a busy month for me, but I thought I'd give it a try.

Camp NetGalley was a lot of fun. I really loved doing the Bingo. July is always a heavy reading month for me as I am officially on summer break so I am able to get lots of reading in. Sometimes it is difficult to pick what I want to read so the Bingo made it a lot of fun as I tried to get Bingo in as many ways as I could. I love that each week there is something new to do. I also like that it is pushing me to become a better reviewer through the Book Advocate Toolkit. This is a fun way to kick off the summer.

Camp NetGalley is a nice booklet with accompanying events during July 2024. My work and summer events schedule ended up being too busy for me to participate as much as I wanted, but it's a grand idea. I love reading Bingo, and I'd love to see some Christian fiction related tasks. The board could definitely use FEWER woke and politically correct tasks. Reading is a lot more fun when the game isn't focused on playing politics.

I love this idea! It is great to be a part of NetGalley and Camp NetGalley brings such a fun sense of community to us readers! I love the intro template you created, and the optional games like Bingo. Creating a Talent Show is a great way to get reviewers to "up their game" and show off what they do best! Thanks for making NetGalley an ever better place!

I really like the idea of Camp NetGalley, where we get to go back to the nostalgia of having a summer reading challenge with the inclusion of a bingo card to encourage participation and ending with a talent show. The design is adorable with the camp graphics as well. I think it could be fun to expand the bingo card concept even further and perhaps create ones based on popular genre's? for example one for romance, fantasy, horror, etc to really get into the niche's and help guide readers who are engaged on social media fit their niche. Overall this is a great concept and I can't wait to see how it continues on over the years!

What a fun way to spend the summer, I look forward to playing bingo, and will update this review as the summer progresses!
Sending this review early, but I'll come back later with a link to review, because I hate having books sit in my que!

I know I am submitting early but wanted to say how much I have been enjoying the camp. My favorite part so far is the reading journal. I had no idea that was provide absolutely free. It is amazing and I can't wait to start using it.
I also wanted to include a suggestion for next year, although I would imagine this would be pretty hard to do. I think it would be fun to have a point value assigned to each activity. The point value per activity could be different depending on how hard or long the task took. There could also be a leader board for members to see how they are comparing to other members.

Love this idea. It is great to get some summer inspiration. Would love some more notice next year and I could plan my summer reading with it in mind :)

Such a fun idea for summer!! Love the bingo card and the prompts. I’m excited to try and fill it up while knocking books off my netgalley tbr!

This is such a fun idea for summer. I can't wait to participate more with the weekly challenges. Thanks NetGalley!!

Great guide and very useful! This is the first time I’ve joint in with an event so it was great to have all the information in one place :)

This is such an absolutely awesome idea and I'm so excited to be participating! These are always such fun to do and I'm happy NetGalley is doing it! Thank you!

So excited to participate in this and see what the weekly challenges are! I always wanted to go to summer camp, and now I get to attend a bookish summer camp!
