What a great idea for kicking up my summer reading. I have never done reading-related challenges before, but I found the Bingo in the welcome packet to be a great time. I'd love to see more reading challenge content in the next one! Additionally, I joined just in time for the scavenger hunt, and my inner child is feeling so giddy at bringing back joy and social connection to summer reading.

This was such a fun idea! I love how netgalley is trying to get everyone on this app involved in fun activities together.
I think that the BINGO was my favourite. I hope netgalley does more things like this in the future!

I really enjoyed camp netgalley! I thought the “bunks” was creative and would have loved to see more events/goals tied to the bunks and what you chose. I LOVED the bingo and the idea of submitting a review you’re proud of for a talent show.

This has been a fun learning experience for the the month of July. I really liked the bingo card suggestions

Love it! I am also so grateful for these fun activities to do. The Camp NetGalley welcome packet is fantastic. I hope that it is provided each year. Thanks, NetGalley!

Questo pacchetto di benvenuto spiega molto bene come verrà organizzato il Camp NetGalley, diviso per settimane e attività. Può essere un passatempo molto interessante per gli amanti dei libri.

This is a great idea but I didn’t find it to be user friendly. Maybe it’s just me. I thought it was an electronic guide but I can’t add my notes etc unless it’s printed.

Thanks so much, NetGalley, for this fun interactive way to celebrate summer reading by earning badges for our account. I think it's obvious that we all adore badges and ribbons and buttons - that's why so many of us talk about reaching those next tiers of reviews to get our 100, 200, 500, etc. badges.

With that in mind, my only suggestion for next year (or other future events) is MORE ways to earn MORE badges! Since they're a motivation and inspiration for us readers and reviewers, more badges are definitely an enticement that we strive to achieve.

Fun prompts for the summer and summer reading. I liked the templates that could be used on social media. I would have liked to have had bingo boards that were in certain genres because I would not read some of the options on the bingo board that is currently in this packet.

This is really cute!

I'm proud of my review for Earls Trip by Jenny Holiday. I really enjoyed that book and it was so charming it made me feel like kicking my little feeties.

Summer is all about talking and sharing books! Reading out of doors or sprawled inside with a fan roving over you to beat the heat. Kids in the library turning books around on the shelves and leaving them a disaster zone, but creating more breathing room for the junior fiction than you've seen in months. I love it! And having something for us adult readers and promoters of book culture sweetens the summer just so much. Let's be real, I'd love to have an actual camp getaway filled exclusively with reading and endless conversations about books.

I think this is my best review yet. This is also such a cool idea and a great way to get more interaction for pages. I hope that this is something that will be done more often.

This month-long activity is fun and perfect for those bookworms who are looking for fun and exciting prompts to spice up their reading experience and keep them engaged. I think the camping theme is appropriate for the summer season. The infographics were creative, eye-catching, and very informative and easy to follow. I really appreciate the book calendar as it gives a clear summary of activities that’ll be happening for this month.

A suggestion that I can give for next year would be a workshop for both new and veteran reviewers on NetGalley to enhance their skills as well as to level up the quality they can provide for future book reviews.

This was fun but it shouldn’t count towards my reviews. This was an activity, not an actual book. It is unfair to have this count towards my percentage.

Camp NetGalley is such a fun concept, I wish it was a little more interactive, perhaps email alerts? If you ware not as active in social media you would not see the different "events". Looking forward to seeing all the challenges and next year's.

This was a fun little challenge with lots of different things to do. I really enjoyed having a go at them and learning along the way.

lol this is silly but fun. I would love some more interactive stuff like this from netgalley! The instructions aren't quite clear in how to submit the review for the talent show - is it just a normal review with a link to the review? Or is it something else? Not quite sure, but its low stakes so I'm not too concerned.

This was a super fun way to connect more to NetGalley over the summer! My favorite part is the bingo board—who else still misses summer reading as a kid?

What a fun activity to keep the community engaged. Late to the party but hope I have time to catch up!

I am just obtained a laptop and one of the first things I did was open net galley, not only can I now review much better but I am navigate net galley easier.However when it comes to the the camp, its hard to understand and how to navigate.Maybe I came into this a little to late but it would be great to see things not ending in the beginning of August but in Fall when kids are dragging their feet back to school and the crisp air is all around us. Gives time for more exploring. I hope next year I am able to navigate and particapate more.
