We inspire families to play outside

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

Say hi to Bezzi's besties

Meet the Bewilder Beasts—mythical pals who adore the outdoors, swap nature secrets, and turn every trail into a tale.

How Bewilder Began

Founder Yvonne Leow didn’t grow up outdoorsy. She became a journalist, immersing herself in music, food, and stories. In her late twenties, she fell in love with nature, and once she did, everything changed.

From newsrooms to nature

Yvonne traded deadlines for trailheads. She backpacked. Learned how to ski. Climbed big peaks. In 2020, she summited Aconcagua and came home with a mission: To help people connect with nature.

Bewilder Beasts are born

In 2023, Bewilder produced pop-up campgrounds in Los Angeles. Parents noticed. Schools called. Bezzi the Yeti and her crew of Bewilder Beasts came to life.

Building Bewilder Club
We’re now building a world where busy families can explore more, worry less, and raise confident young adventurers. Real nature lessons. Playful storytelling. Adventures that spark wonder anywhere.

Our ethos

ADVENTURE ANYWHERE. Our imagination can take us anywhere, whether we're playing indoors or outdoors.

BE CURIOUS. We strive to be empathetic and learn more about all living things.

PRESENCE IS JOY. We strive to stay in connection with ourselves and our loved ones.

CELEBRATE HOME. Our environment matters. They shape who we are and who we become.
