Super excited for Camp NetGalley! I love the Book Bingo and Instagram story templates. I can’t wait for the week of July 15-21 and the scavenger hunt!
I think these interactive type of things really help connect NetGalley users to each other. This also helps spread the word of NetGalley and introduce those that may not be familiar with it to it.
Next year I would love more templates to share. Please see my attached link for a recent review I am super proud of and as my entry into the Talent Show!

This is such a fun idea. I always love ways to discover new books. The bingo had me finding new books to read outside my normal genre.
I am super competitive so the idea of a contest for badges is very appealing to me.
Ideas for next year: I think it would be fun to get books with the camp to earn badges. This could help me get even further out of my comfort zone.
Overall I think this is a fun idea and I look forward to the other things to come.

I'm looking forward to this challenge! I haven't been interested in joining one in a long time. Camp NetGalley caught my attention!

This is an amazing idea! So much fun to have weekly ideas that ramp up an already enjoyable activity. Wish I had found this 6 days sooner hahah

My favorite review is the following from Goodreads for My Penguin Year:
This book is a story of resilience in extreme circumstances. Both the author and the penguins he is filming face numerous challenges. Great book to start off the new year. Highly recommend.

Camp NetGalley is a fun summer program for readers! I'm looking forward to playing BINGO and participating in other camp events.

Wow. I love this! Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet is such a fun, engaging and unique concept for readers!

Camp NetGalley is such a fun idea & I am already thoroughly enjoying the activities just one week in! It’s always fun to gameify a task & the ability to earn a badge is solid. It’s been a great motivation to help me catch up since I’ve had a rough few months & have fallen behind. I look forward to the following weeks & their activities! And to meeting other NetGalley-ers on social media!

A fun way to engage with other NetGalley users - will update with suggestions and feedback as I finish the activities!

Fun summer reading challenge with resources for bookish fans. Journal, stickers, Bingo and challenges included for a fun season. 5/5 stars

I find the digital download a little confusing. I couldn’t figure out how to get the stickers at all! I think the idea of Camp NetGalley is cute, but it’s difficult to maneuver in.

Does this actually need feedback? It’s counting as a book I didn’t read so I guess it does.
It looks like a super fun challenge though! I enjoyed the graphics and it looks like a fun and easy thing to do during the month of July?

Okay this is a fun and interactive summer challenge! I'm going to try to do the bingo and other fun activities as well.

Many thanks for the fun suggestions. I didn't do so well in bingo but it was fun to play anyway. I will be posting my favorite review from a book that I'm still thrilled to have been able to read. Let's go Camp NetGalley!

So fun!! This is such a great idea. I love new ways to engage with tht netgalley community. I can't wait to read everyone else's comments too.

NetGalley always has the most helpful resources and tips to make each user into a better ARC reader. I love it.

This is such a wonderful idea! I love the bingo card idea. Multiple bingo sheets could be used to explore more specific diverse subjects (books featuring a disabled main character, books featuring an asexual main character, AAPI authors, etc.).

A fun little read and activity for the summer. And with this I learned I can open links in the NetGalley app.

I just recently got back into reading ARCs and Camp NetGalley is a nice little "welcome" event. This is also such a fun idea for us adults who love reading and miss the summer reading programs that we grew up with as children. I love this idea and hope that it can be made more interactive in future years. Thumbs up for Camp NetGalley!

I love this idea especially to make this a more engaging community. One thing might be to take assessment of camps and Goodreads profiles into account. Other sites rate newcomers higher based on their Goodreads history rather than following based on quality and quantity of reviews.
