how camel works?

can somebody describe me how exactly(in basics) doe camel works ?
what does it mean when they say:
       "Apache Camel can be used as a routing and mediation engine for the
following projects:
               *  Apache ActiveMQ 
               * Apache CXF 
               * Apache MINA 
                * Apache ServiceMix "
and do the projects that exchange message via camel have to have a client to
connect to the camel?
thanks

BTW I've added a few FAQ entries to try answer your questions...

The architecture is described here...

So for example, with ActiveMQ you can use Camel to do smart routing &
implement the EIP patterns in the JMS client or inside the broker.

e.g. Camel can route messages to and from email, files, XMPP and other
components...
http://activemq.apache.org/camel/components.html

as well as implementing these patterns...
http://activemq.apache.org/camel/enterprise-integration-patterns.html

The same is true for the other projects you mention. e.g. in
ServiceMix's case you can use Camel to do smart routing between JBI
components...

Camel can work with a variety of kinds of messages; so for example
inside ActiveMQ broker, there is no network connection per se, its
talking to POJOs inside the broker. Similarly when using Camel with
ServiceMix, its using the JBI bus (the NMR) to communicate.

With Camel there's not necessarily a 'connection' as Camel can work
with beans or in memory seda queues etc
