Real World Learning and Fun!
Field trips can enhance learning, increase interest and help to solidify concepts. Besides all that, they're fun! Join HOME at various locations throughout the year for some real-world learning experiences!
If you need some financial assistance in order to participate in a HOME field trip, please feel free to apply for a scholarship. HOME has a limited amount of funds available for this purpose thanks to some generous donations! Contribute to this fund to support homeschool families in need!

Oma by Sandglass Theater
A joyful story of celebration, generations, and storytelling in yarn!
Oma says that knitting is not just pom pom hats and sweaters. Oma’s knitting contains whole stories! This puppet show for family audiences by Shoshana Bass and Jana Zeller is an intergenerational tale that revolves around Grandma or “Oma.” It is her birthday and all are preparing for the celebration. While the grown-ups manage work phone calls, playdate logistics and other such tasks, the children get into mischief with party decorating, present wrapping, and cake-baking. Finally, they all gather around for one of Oma’s stories told in yarn!
Date: Wednesday, July 22, 2026,
Time: 10:30am (Length of show: 45 minutes)
Location: Safe Harbor Gazebo, 60 Ocean St., Rockland
Cost: $3.00 per person
Recommended Ages: 4 and up
Lunch: Join us at the Macdougal adaptive playground, 338 Broadway, Rockland after the show!
