Summit Independent Living

Summit Independent Living Summit’s mission is to advance the independence and civil rights of people with disabilities.

Summit Independent Living is a non-residential, private, non-profit organization that offers a wide range of services designed to give people with disabilities the tools and resources that are needed to improve independence, self-confidence, knowledge, skills and access to community resources. Summit also works at the community level to build awareness and reduce attitudinal, architectural and com

munication barriers; combat discrimination; and promote the development of needed resources, programs, services, and policies. Summit is governed by a consumer-controlled Board of Directors whose lives have been personally impacted by a disability. It is funded in part by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended in 1992 (Title VII- Independent Living Services), and the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (Disability Transitions Programs). Summit has offices located in Missoula, Hamilton, Kalispell, and Ronan.

Experience vast fantasy worlds with all kinds of people and monsters of legend!

Our games are open to all players ages 18 and up (due to fantasy violence ⚔️ and the potential in-game death of beasts and people alike 💀).
