Eagle Mount Bozeman was founded in 1982 by General Robert Mathis USAF(Ret.) and his wife Greta Mathis. It was their dream to start a program providing therapeutic recreation for people with disabilities and youth with cancer. The first year began with a skiing program hoping to serve 20-30 participants. It was quickly realized the great need for these services as 94 participants enjoyed therapeutic skiing the first year. Eagle Mount Bozeman now serves more than 2,000 people with disabilities and utilizes more than 2,000 volunteers per year. Eagle Mount Bozeman is committed to provide quality therapeutic recreational opportunities for people with disabilities and young people with cancer, and to provide support for families of participants so that "they shall mount up with wings as eagles."
