Not sure how long it would take but it'll get you there.

It'll take a ridiculously long time, with the periods between waiting for a trains, and the # of stops (altogether). One would do it once, and then write off public transportation and never take the route again. [
However, it's not as dumb of a route as the DRPA pushing for a Gloucester county light rail anticipating people in Cherry Hill would take PATCO to Camden, then the light rail to Rowan, when driving is actually far more direct]
Unlike Newark and Trenton transit centers, Broadway Camden is an unpleasant place to be boarding on/off or waiting around. Once the weather gets cold its unpleasant standing outside waiting for the RiverLine light rail in Trenton or Camden, or being in any small train car where the door opens wide (and the draft enters) x15 times for all the stops it makes.
In general, it's better for the person to get picked up from Hamilton since the OP has to be picked up anyways.
I-295 is a direct path between Hamilton and Cherry Hill/Voorhees. With a cell phone, the OP can even call the person picking him/her up to let him/her know the ETA at the train station.
The main benefit of taking the RiverLine is the free and close parking, esp. if one had to park there to head up to NYC or EWR. The RiverLine rt fare is cheaper than the parking cost at Hamilton. Otherwise, in most cases, it's better both parties to head up to Hamilton.
