Experience summer in New Jersey

Long Wave Aquatics is proud to host international participants through the J-1 Summer Work Travel program.

More than a summer job

For many participants, a summer in New Jersey is about much more than a seasonal job. It's a chance to experience American culture, meet people from around the world, explore New Jersey, and create memories that last a lifetime.

Our international participants become part of our community while experiencing life in the United States. We believe cultural exchange should happen both inside and outside the workplace.

Cultural activities

Throughout the summer, we organize activities and cultural experiences that help our international participants discover the local area and experience American traditions. Our activities can include:

  • Museum visits

    Explore museums and cultural attractions throughout New Jersey and the surrounding area.

  • Summer fairs & festivals

    Experience local summer fairs, community events, and seasonal celebrations.

  • Beach trips

    Enjoy New Jersey's beaches and spend time together outside of work.

  • Line dancing

    Learn some American-style line dancing while enjoying an evening with friends and coworkers.

  • Bonfires

    Relax, socialize, share stories, and enjoy summer evenings together around a bonfire.

Work. Travel. Connect.

The J-1 Summer Work Travel experience is an opportunity to:

Building cultural connections

Our goal is to create an environment where participants from different countries can meet, work together, learn from one another, and experience American culture.

At the same time, we enjoy learning about their cultures, traditions, food, music, and experiences.

Different countries. Different cultures. One summer community.

Your summer in New Jersey

We want our international participants to feel welcomed and connected, and we strive to create a positive summer experience both at work and outside of work.
