In 1975, Father Kenney saw the annual wilderness camps take shape through a generous land donation near Alpine, Wyoming. That same year, a second camp was established near Centennial, Wyoming.
The Buford Foundation believes all children deserve the opportunity to succeed. Children’s greatest obstacle is often low self-esteem, but “seeing beauty of the wilderness… [they may] see their own beauty.”
Campers are typical teenagers, often recommended by school counselors or teachers. The teens return as more confident, independent, intuitive and cooperative individuals.
In addition to cancer prevention, the Society focuses on a variety of early detection programs and encourages regular medical checkups and recommended cancer screenings.
Finding cancer in the earliest stage possible gives the patient the greatest chance of survival. For this reason, the Society seeks to provide the public and health care professionals with the latest cancer resources to help them make informed decisions. Through national conferences and workshops, a Web site (www.cancer.org), the National Cancer Information Center (1-800-ACS-2345), workshops, multimedia, and print publications, the Society reaches out in multiple ways with lifesaving information.
Because cancer takes a toll on the person diagnosed—as well as family and friends—the Society offers support and service programs to try to lessen the impact. These programs cover a wide range of needs—from connecting patients with other survivors to providing a place to stay when treatment facilities are far from home.

Holt’s approach is unique – it’s centered on the child.
Holt is much more than an adoption agency. We also develop and maintain programs overseas to give orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children safe and nurturing environments in which to develop.
While children are waiting for permanent families, we place them with foster families where they will enjoy an attentive, family-like environment. The quality care helps children develop, and it helps them to better prepare to bond with their adoptive parents. In situations where we must use institutional care, we use a high ratio of childcare workers to children along with attentive childcare methods that ensure children receive physical and verbal affection and stimulation. We consider each child’s situation individually to find the best long-term solution for that child. Because we also investigate the possibilities of preserving the birth family or domestic adoption, you can be assured that international adoption was the best solution for your child.
With our staff at work on both sides of the ocean, the rights and lives of all involved in the adoption are safeguarded – the child, the birth parents and the adoptive parents. Our ultimate goal is always to see the child safely, happily and permanently in the right loving home.
