The New Haven Academy of Performing Arts Camp is located in East Haven, Connecticut. Their Small Starrs Summer Musical Theater Camp is designed for children ages 7-13, and their Broadway Bound program is for teenagers 14-18. All instructors in the program are professional educators and performers certified in their fields.

Young performers in the Broadway Bound program learn to hone their acting, singing, and dance skills. During their time here, they audition and receive professional training from a professional casting director and receive constructive feedback on the process. It's a non-competitive program that believes there are no small parts but only small actors.

They strive to get to know students and help match them with roles that fit their wants and goals. The summer day theater camps run Monday to Friday, 9 am to 3 or 5 pm, and last anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. Past alums have gone on to attend some of the nation's most prestigious theater summer programs in college.
