Summertime, and the living is easy at the MCA’s 2026 Summer Outing in Great Falls on August 12-14, 2026! Take some time out of your busy schedule to catch up on industry issues, connect with your peers, and enjoy some much-needed R&R. Our host golf course this year will be Meadow Lark Country Club, located along the scenic banks of the Missouri River in Great Falls. Our shooting events will be held at the Great Falls Trap & Skeet Club.
Thank You Summer Outing Sponsors!
Please help us in recognizing the sponsorship efforts of the following MCA members! Without their continued support, the MCA would not be able to continue bringing the high level of value to our Summer Outing participants:
Summer Outing Member Activities
CLC Cornhole Tournament: Compete for your chance to be crowned the MCA cornhole champion! The MCA’s Construction Leadership Council (CLC) is inviting all Summer Outing participants to join in on the fun during their annual cornhole tournament. The bag tossing starts at 5:00pm during the Wednesday evening reception on August 12th. There is a small entry fee, and the winners walk away with a cash prize! The CLC is dedicated to developing the future leaders of Montana’s construction industry. With meetings several times a year across the state, the CLC provides its members with opportunities to develop their leadership and communication skills, network with other construction professionals, and develop relationships with their peers.
Golf Scramble & Best Ball: Known for its fast, undulating greens, Meadow Lark Country Club’s course features the “River Run,” spanning holes 15 to 18, and finishes with a demanding approach along the river. The course will host the MCA Summer Outing scramble and Best Ball competition this year. Tune up your game during Thursday’s opening round and submit your individual score to be eligible for Best Ball prizes. During Friday’s scramble, foursomes will be set using golfer handicaps and Thursday scores. Trophies are awarded to the MCA’s winning scramble team during Friday’s BBQ at the conclusion of the event. On course prizes will be awarded for each hole and make sure you visit with MCA member hole sponsors as they will be handing swag, snacks and beverages during your rounds.
Trap Shooting: The Great Falls Trap & Skeet Club has 14 traps, a skeet range, a rifle & pistol range, and PAT traps. They offer Canterbury voice calls and ERAD voice release system. Day or night are both acceptable as there are nine fields with lights. For our MCA members that would prefer to spend a couple days blasting away at some orange clays rather than chasing around a white golf ball, this is the event for you! Stick around for Thursday’s “Annie Oakley” competition to find out who is the sharpest shooter in the Association. Trophies are awarded to top two-person team. Afterwards, shooters are invited to head over to Bridger Creek Golf Course for more prizes and the Thursday BBQ.
Thursday Evening Banquet & Calcutta: After Thursday’s activities, participants and attendees will gather at the Holiday Inn Convention Center for an evening of entertainment, including a reception, banquet, competitions, raffle, and the main event – the Calcutta. Golf and trap teams will be announced and auctioned off to the highest bidders. Remember — you must have cash to participate in the Calcutta! The MCA Associates Division is responsible for putting on the Summer Outing, and all proceeds generated are used to fund the Associates Presidential Scholarships for high school graduates and current college undergraduates. This year, the Associates awarded twelve scholarships in the amount of $2,000 each to recipients whose parents or guardians are members of the MCA.
Putting Competition, Raffle, Heads & Tails, and more!
Back again this year is the Putting Competition! During Wednesday’s round, each player will have one attempt at the designated putt setup on the practice putting green. Each player that makes the designated putt will qualify for a more difficult putt on Thursday. If one player makes Thursday’s putt, they will take home $1,000! If one or more players makes the putt, they will split $1,000 in cash prize (i.e. if one player makes, they win $1,000, if two players make the putt, they each win $500, and so forth). If no players make the putt on Thursday, then the player with the putt that comes to rest closest to the hole will win a $100 cash prize. In addition, Summer Outing participants also have the chance to walk away as winners during Wednesday evening’s Associates gun raffle, as well as the hilarious Heads & Tails competition!
