An Authentic Encounter with the Mediterranean for Children

The Field School of Hvar facilitates family slow travel in one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful and authentic regions.

This private camp will provide safe, enriching childcare to support parents and guests during the Shemie-Bijelić wedding. The program will be led by two experienced, professional educators with appropriate training and licensing in childcare, outdoor recreation, and emergency care. The program language is English. We also work with a team of vetted boat and shuttle drivers.
