We're bringing the Bewilder community together for a beginner backpacking trip through Los Padres National Forest. Check out our full itinerary.

For the first five campers who sign up, NEMO will be graciously providing:

• Tents
• Sleeping bags
• Sleeping pads
• Pillows

For people to use and trial on the trek! If you or your friends are brand new to backpacking, this is the perfect trip to try it out!.

All campers will be responsible for meeting at the trailhead (a carpool sign-up will be available), bringing food, and other necessary gear. Our three-day itinerary has a list of stuff you need to pack and bring for this trek. The $50 fee is non-refundable and helps cover logistics, planning, and prep for the entire weekend.

Bewilder founder Yvonne Leow will be guiding this trip and is a certified wilderness first responder. Proof of vaccinations will be required.

We'll organize a virtual meet n' greet a week before the trek AND create a Whatsapp group to swap jokes, photos, and backpacking tips.

Got questions or ideas? Ping yvonne@bewilder.camp.

See you at Sespe!
