Australia Summer Program | Pacific Discovery

Adventure, wildlife encounters, and meaningful environmental work! This program for participants ages 18-22 is an unforgettable adventure through Australia’s wild heart, where nature’s magic unfolds at every turn. Explore Fraser Island’s rugged beaches by 4WD, snorkel with turtles in Byron Bay, and learn to surf along pristine coastlines. Discover the ancient Blue Mountains while canyoning through deep chasms and experience the vibrant underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. Hold a koala on Magnetic Island, and immerse yourself in the natural wonders of the Whitsundays' silica islands. Our journey is twofold: connect with Australia's stunning landscapes, appreciating their unspoiled beauty, and delve into local efforts combating climate change. Rangers will guide us through environmental conservation programs in coastal national parks, where we'll see firsthand how they’re protecting native species and combating rising sea levels by strengthening dunes.

Discipleship Training School (DTS)

The Discipleship Training School (DTS) at YWAM Toowoomba is a transformative five-month journey designed to help you know God more deeply and make Him known in Australia and the nations. Set in the beautiful landscapes of Southeast Queensland, our campus provides the perfect environment for growth, reflection, and community. This program blends classroom learning, small group activities, personal reflection, practical service, and daily community living. You won’t just sit and listen—you’ll actively engage in a rhythm of life that combines biblical teaching with hands-on application. The DTS is divided into two key phases: Lecture Phase (3 months): During this time, you’ll receive teaching from experienced international speakers on topics such as hearing God’s voice, the character and nature of God, identity in Christ, the power of prayer, relationships, missions, and much more. Outreach Phase (2 months): After being equipped and prepared, you’ll put your learning into action on a cross-cultural mission trip. Join us in Toowoomba and be part of a movement that is equipping young people to impact the nations with the love of Jesus.

Program: Australia Summer Program | Pacific Discovery

I grew up in New York City surrounded by bright lights and skyscrapers. I found myself longing for nature. I wanted something new: I wanted to immerse myself in a new way of life. I was drawn to Australia’s unique culture and breathtaking landscapes. I decided to sign up for Pacific Discovery’s summer program in Australia. I was really nervous before my trip because I had little experience hiking and camping. Looking back on my experience, I had nothing to worry about. I was welcomed with open arms and nothing but positive smiles. My group traveled up the coast of Australia, starting in Sydney and ending in Cairns. My favorite memories include surfing in Crescent Head and skydiving over the Great Barrier Reef. My group worked alongside National Parks staff in endangered landscapes. We participated in bush regeneration projects and numerous beach cleanups. We also learned about Australia’s unique environmental and ecological history, emphasizing the lasting presence and influence of aboriginal people. The trip would not have been the same without our amazing group leader, Tari Kumari. She is a constant source of positive energy. She pushed me outside my comfort zone and helped me grow to become the individual I am today. I could not have asked for a more perfect mentor. Her enthusiasm, selflessness, and kind heart are inspiring. When I grow up, I hope to be like Tari. I can truly say that I came back from Australia as a more open-minded and open-hearted individual. The trip gave me a positive outlook on life that I carry with me every day. I long for adventure and more experiences like the one that Pacific Discovery gave me. Thank you for everything Tari and Pacific Discovery. I highly recommend this trip!
