for parents as the kids.” “The staff are phenomenal.” “The activities were really well organized and engaging.” “Highly recommend MPH camps.” “This is the first year my son has NOT complained about camp ONCE!” “My kids are never bored.”
Manlius Pebble Hill is undergoing construction of a new gymnasium, which results in our not having use of the gym this summer. Don’t worry – we’ll take our sports programs outside, along with new classes added indoors!
DR I VE R EDUCATION begins June 26 and runs eight weeks. Students attend theory and drive classes twice a week each, 1½ hour each class/drive (six hours per week), for eight weeks to complete the required 24 hours of in-class and in-car requirements regulated and approved through the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles. Students must be 16 years old by the first day of class and possess a valid driver’s permit. The course fee is $525 (financial aid and payment plans available). Classes are offered at Manlius Pebble Hill School, Fayetteville-Manlius High School and Chittenango High School. While theory classes and drive classes will be held at individual schools, the awareness aspects of the program (DWI Night, Rural/Metro Rescue Presentation, Sheriff ’s Slide Show and No Zone Safety Day) will be held at specific locations which will be noted on your theory schedule.
