The North Carolina Ground Water Association (NCGWA) invites you to a unique educational event at the scenic Hunting Creek Preserves. The morning kicks off with a four-hour session focused on critical industry topics including an overview of the well drilling completed the day prior, brief video logging techniques, equipment safety, and essential excavation and trench rescue protocols.

After a morning of hands-on learning and expert insight, we’ll gather at noon for a homemade pork BBQ lunch—complete with classic sides and mouthwatering desserts, all prepared with Southern hospitality.

Then the competition heats up at 1:00 PM with our Skeet Shoot Tournament! Test your aim along a 2.9-mile course featuring 14 clay-throwing stations. Teams of four will compete for top honors, with prizes awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams. And for a little extra fun, we’ll also recognize the individual with the most consecutive missed clays with a light-hearted consolation prize.

It’s a day built for learning, connecting, and celebrating the skills and camaraderie that make our industry strong. We hope to see you there!
