Mike will attempt to summit the 50 highpoints in 50 days starting in June. You can track Mike online and learn about the highpoints. In August, you can register your school and students at PE Central to participate. Children will follow Mike’s virtual adventure as Coleman and Mike encourage children to become active outside. |
