A good leader is of good character. During the time here with YWAM Davos our emphasis of leadership training is not necessarily on lots of leadership skills and tools, but it targets your character and challenges you way of thinking. We are all leaders, as we are influencing people around us.

We believe that good leadership training happens in an environment, where mistakes are allowed, grace is sufficient, honor amongst each other is valued and truth is spoken. Leadership is not about the right to rule over others but it is the privilege to serve each other for the greater good of the community.

We are exited to help you discover your leadership capability, your talents and gifting, your identity in God, as well as teaching you tools and skills to help you lead others well.

The first year is the Basic Leadership Training School. This school wraps around the DTS starting about three month after you started your leadership training. It is designed to help you discover your leadership, while staffing DTS.

The second year builds strongly on the first year with a focus of developing your leadership. You will be given more responsibilities as a leader towards the DTS students as well as helping to BLS students to see their potential.

The third year is all about multiplying your leadership. Meanwhile you hopefully discovered more about who you are and what really excites you. We are passionate to help you during this year to develop your next step towards the start of a new ministry, school, YWAM Location or what ever.

If you have a dream or a call from God to start something somewhere, we believe that a good preparation time, as well as training, are not wasted time but an important investment into the future. YWAM Davos is committed to help you out as much as we can.

Do you have a passion for snowboarding or freeskiing? Are you interested in pursuing your relationship with God at a deeper level? Do you desire to combine both your passion for snowboarding / skiing and your love for God? Then this is the Discipleship Training School (DTS) for you!

Come to the heart of the Swiss Alps in Davos, where you can experience and discover more of God’s Heart and destiny for you! The Snowboarders and Freeskiers Discipleship Training School (SFDTS) is more than a bible school – it’s the adventure of a lifetime that will transform you! It’s all about embracing the freestyle culture – not about the level of your riding. While the SFDTS includes all the elements of a ‘normal’ DTS, what makes this experience unique is that you will live among the snowboarding culture in a world class ski resort, and be steps from the terrain!

You will not only get to target the slopes, but your heart, your character and your pursuit for God!!

This DTS is a time to discover who God created you to be. Your life will be transformed and come alive as you begin to find out what His plan is for you. You will be able to experience God for yourself while you bike, hike, climb and adventure through this time. As you experience God, your life will be changed forever! And what better place to do all of that than in the Swiss Alps?

We keep our schools small (max 15 students) so that your time here can feel like family. We love to journey through the adventure of DTS with you, and share everyday life! The schedule may be full but there’s still time to create relationships that will last a lifetime.

Bottom line — DTS is a time like none other. You will leave transformed. You’ll learn to be confident in hearing God’s voice and sharing it with others. It’s not just another cool experience. It’s a time to take a step back from your busy life to search after God and His plan for your life.

Possible involment can be in the kitchen team, hospitality team, worship team, media and communication team. For up to about 50% you will be involved with things on the base, the rest of the day you can spend with the running school or enjoy some time by your self.
