We inspire families to play outside

An image of Bezzi the Yeti, Bewilder's mascot, with the words "What We Do" over her.

Bewilder is an outdoor education company based in Los Angeles. We blend art, games, storytelling, and gear to introduce families to the mental and physical benefits of being outside.

Join Bezzi the Yeti

and her crew of Bewilder Beasts to learn about our environment, and ourselves, one adventure at a time.

Our ethos

ADVENTURE IS IN OUR nature. We embrace the journey with all of its twists, turns, dives, and summits.

EDUCATION IS our BEDROCK. Learning fuels our curiosity, prepares us for surprises, and empowers us to give back.  

presence creates joy. Nature inspires us to live in the moment, in connection with ourselves and our loved ones.  

celebrate home. Local parks and places matter. They shape who we are and who we become.
