Cabela's Adventure Camp is essentially a Cabela's-themed mini-game collection where the focus is on motion-based gameplay in various outdoor sporting events.
The story revolves around children attending a Cabela's-themed camp, where they participate in outdoor sporting events such as kayaking, skeet shooting, archery, and bicycling. While the main gameplay focuses on these activities, there are also two unique games - Whack-a-Mole combined with Simon, and Rock-Paper-Scissors called Bear-Hunter-Ninja - that add a twist to the usual mini-games.
Gameplay is centered around motion-based controls, where players must mimic real-life movements to complete challenges. The game features six playable characters, each with customizable stats and hair/clothing colors. Players can collect coins/emblems and large gems for extra points, and compete against others in events that support 2-4 player multiplayer.
