“Everybody Has challenges. We Have Adventures” Eagle Mount

In one of my email correspondence from working with the Accessible Icon Project, I came across a person who works at Eagle Mount, a recreational center for people with cancer and disabilities. This Montana based center provides skiing, ice skating, swimming, horseback riding, golfing, and more for people of all abilities. Centered around the philosophy that “Everybody has challenges. We have Adventures”, this 19 acre campus is open to all. With program enrollments totaling more than 1,400 last year, it took more than 1,500 able- bodied volunteers, donating over 30,000 hours, to help with all the activities. They believe that recreation is more than just play time. For them, it translates into “re-creation,” bringing strength, confidence, focus, joy, and freedom into all aspects of a person’s life.

Check out their website here and look for ways you can volunteer or participate in their programs.
