Campus Phase

Our DTS starts with a three-month Campus Phase, during which students discover more about God while surrounded by God's beauty in beautiful Baja California, Mexico, just south of San Diego. When you choose the Identity & Calling Track, you are purposely diving deeper into becoming who God created you to be! Part of that journey is surrendering to Christ and pursuing the Lord’s will.

This elective is similar to the Classic DTS, which YWAM ran for years from the 1970’s to the 2000’s. The tracks focus, is on positioning ourself to grow deep in your relationship with God. You’ll gain confidence in yourself and learn to trust God to move through every aspect of life, exuding His love. Students will live in a close-knit community with one another and encourage one another to grow in their walk with the Lord. There is also time to meet in small groups and the opportunity to be personally mentored, encouraged, and disciplined by our YWAM staff and guest speakers.
