To adjust front camber, you loosen the nut on the upper strut-to-hub bolt. Then you turn the bolt. The bolt has a cam shape so turning it tilts the hub. Then you tighten the nut again.
Rear camber is not adjustable.

Exactly. For the rear its not adjustable with stock suspension. Id stear clear of camber bolts. Instead look for adjustable control arms that let you adjust the width caster and camber all at once.
Already we have seen problems with tire to strut clearance in the rear, camber bolts would make this even worse.

you also should loosen the lower bolt slightly so the spindle/strut can move and things don't 'bind'
you can tweak rear camber very slightly....there's enough slack in the rear......that's what the alignment guy did with mine.
But yes, to get any real changes, you should look into adjustable control arms.
