Eagle Mount provides opportunities in recreation to enhance the lives of children and adults with disabilities.
Description:
Eagle Mount provides opportunities to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. The programs of Eagle Mount include: arts & crafts, bicycling, day camp (for youth currently enrolled in school), equestrain, golf, skiing/snowboarding, social night, swimming and walking at the YMCA. All adaptive equipment is provided along with specially trained staff and volunteers to assist the participants. Eagle Mount serves ALL individuals with disabilities. Some of the individuals we serve are affected by Autism, Down syndrome, Developmental Disabilities, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifada, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, Paraplegia, Quadriplegia, Visual Impairments, and Traumatic Brain Injury just to name a few. We rely on community support through special events, an annual campaign, individual/corporate donations and grants. Eagle Mount is proud to be a United Way partner agency.
History:
In 1983, retired General Robert Mathis and his wife Greta started an adaptive ski program in Bozeman, Montana. Individuals with disabilities from Billings and all over the state went to Bozeman to enjoy the freedom of skiing. Eagle Mount expanded to Billings in 1988, serving 49 individuals that first year. More than 400 children and adults now take part in our year round programs. Eagle Mount's programs and events are made possible by strong leadership from our Board of Directors and tireless commitment by literally hundreds of community volunteers.
