Lifeguard at Morey's Piers – Wildwood, New Jersey
Imagine spending your summer on the iconic boardwalk of Wildwood, New Jersey, working as a Lifeguard at one of the East Coast's most beloved family amusement destinations – Morey's Piers. With 3 amusement piers and 2 waterparks right on the Atlantic Ocean, this is the ultimate Work & Travel USA experience.
No lifeguard certification? No problem! Morey's Piers provides full on-site training and covers the cost of your certification, books, and training course. All you need is the ability to swim and a great attitude.

Wildwood is a vibrant, student-friendly town where everything is within walking distance. Last year, Morey's Piers welcomed participants from over 25 countries, creating an incredible international atmosphere.
