MINNEAPOLIS — Kids in North Minneapolis were working up a sweat Saturday afternoon at Harrison Park thanks to a free football camp.
The two-day camp was put on by the Bay Laurel Fund, which is a non-profit organization that focuses on offering free art and athletic camps for inner-city kids.
The aspiring football players ran drills and even had a tug-of-war contest!
Kyle Skye is the president of the Bay Laurel Fund and says it's good to be back out on the field with the kids following a year without in-person camps because of COVID.
"Definitely just try to be in person and give them something they can see, touch and feel and just some great life lessons in person. I think that adds a lot of value," Skye said.
The camp will also be held Sunday from noon to 3 p.m.
It is free and open to kids ages 8 to 14.

Skye said they will also be having a back-to-school event at the beginning of September.
