ESCAPE THE REVOLUTION: SPY SCHOOL CHALLENGE

📅 Wednesday, September 23
⏰ 2:00 PM
📍 Peru Library, Peru, MA
👧🧒 Recommended ages: 8–14
💵 $15 per child / $35 family maximum

I’m excited to open registration for a new hands-on homeschool history experience!

The year is 1779. The British control New York, General Washington needs information, and ordinary letters are too dangerous. Your child has just been recruited into a secret spy network.

During this 75–90 minute adventure, kids will:

🔐 Crack secret codes and ciphers
✉️ Create and reveal secret messages
🔎 Investigate historical clues and suspicious documents
🕵️ Learn about real Revolutionary War spies
📜 Decide which sources can be trusted
🗺️ Search for a hidden “dead drop”
🎯 Work together to complete a final spy mission for Agent 711

This is designed to feel more like a mystery/escape-room experience than a traditional history class.

Perfect for homeschoolers who enjoy history, mysteries, puzzles, hands-on activities, or just want a fun way to meet other local kids.

Space will be limited so everyone can participate in the missions.

To reserve a spot, comment below or message me with:
• Child’s name
• Age
• Number of children attending

Payment details will be sent after registration.

Parents are welcome to stay.

Come see if your recruit has what it takes to Escape the Revolution. 🇺🇸🔎

PSA: Get a library card, even if you never plan to check out a book. Cities look at membership numbers when deciding on budget and support for libraries. 📚
