About Better Health Start For Life in Scarborough
In June 2021, we launched 12 brand new story trails in local parks and lakes across the country for families, carers and early years settings with children aged 2-5.
In Scarborough, the story trail launched at St Mary's Church by CaVCA in partnership with Our Stories, with the bespoke theme of pirates and smugglers and a guest appearance from Hairy Bob!
The story trail is based on a story written by children’s author Rebecca Lewis-Oakes and illustrated by Aaron Cushley. The story trail leads families around the local park as they follow the adventures of Uncle Josh, Mia, Kai and their dog Scruffy.
We are thrilled to announce that we now have a digitised version of the story trail, meaning that all families, carers and early years settings can download the trail to a digital device and carry out the activity whenever works best.
Follow the CaVCA Facebook page to stay up to date with local updates.
