Chapter

Eagle Mount Great Falls

Eagle Mount Great Falls is a non-profit organization providing therapeutic and recreational activities for children and adults of all ages with physical, developmental, mental and/or behavioral challenges, striving to improve the quality of life for them and their families.

 

Founded by William S. Macfadden (a.k.a. Ol’Bill), Eagle Mount Great Falls is a non-profit organization that has been serving Great Falls, MT and surrounding communities since November of 1990. We offer exciting programs that allow infants, youth, adults, veterans, and seniors with challenges (who we call our “participants”) to explore recreation and take on new adventures based on their abilities, not their disabilities. Parents can watch their children grow socially, emotionally, and physically and are given an opportunity to develop a personal support network with each other.
