It would be comradely:

It seems to me that if you use adjectival comradely the allusion is to comradeliness, which loses the precise nuance of camaraderie (which we usually want - since that's why we use the word).
So I'd go with the handful of writers who've used
camaradic
The meaning should always be obvious in context, even though I doubt you'd find an actual definition in any dictionary.
In short, the "consistent" pairings are comradeliness -> comradely, camaraderie -> camaradic.

A simple and straightforward option would be friendly.
After their hard-won victory, John and Trent slung their arms around each other's shoulders in a friendly embrace.
M-W:
friendly adjective [friendlier; friendliest]
1 : of, relating to, or befitting a friend: as
a : showing kindly interest and goodwill
b : not hostile : a friendly merger offer; also : involving or coming from actions of one's own forces : friendly fire
c : cheerful, comforting : the friendly glow of the fireHis friendly smile was reassuring.
They maintained a friendly correspondence.

I can't judge for you whether one of the other answers serves your purpose. But here is another option for you to consider:
After their hard-won victory, John and Trent slung their arms around each other's shoulders in camaraderie.
Sorry I don't have a new word to offer. But camaraderie is a great word, and it fits fine in your sentence with a small adjustment. And the embrace you had was superfluous anyway.
I wasn't sure how to reference this, so I googled the exact phrase "in camaraderie". I didn't find it in a dictionary, but I did find it in a blog post. So I guess it's not just me. Here's the sentence fragment:
... figure skaters executing incredible maneuvers, in camaraderie, I guess, with their own bodies....
