Minnesota Man holds "Boot Camp" to keep kids fit

Minnesota Man holds "Boot Camp" to keep kids fit.
Each Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoon, the youngsters come to Leo Evans to be pushed and prodded into physical exertion. Leo functions as the Drill Instructor. It is not exactly the U.S. Marines" Paris Island, but the twice weekly event has come to be known as 'Leo"s Bootcamp.' Once the average 12-13 campers have assembled, Leo orders them into laps around the expanse of green that covers the unfenced yards behind the homes. 'Little kids run once, okay?' he calls, 'Follow those guys and just run about once.' Thus begins a series of stamina and strength building exercises disguised as fun and games. As the children race in order around upside down wooden window boxes and foot-high metal hurdles, Leo calls out commands and encouragement.
