About Us:
Free Your Mind Creative Learning Center is St. Augustine’s only DIY art studio, dedicated to delivering engaging, hands-on creative experiences that boost confidence and spark imagination. Our 5-star-rated art camps are a favorite among kids and parents alike, designed to keep creativity exciting, fresh, and fun.
We specialize in teaching creative thinking while working with a wide variety of materials – including natural elements like shells, wood, and sand – to inspire young artists and connect them with the world around them. Our camps don’t focus on painting fruit baskets – instead, we teach kids how to draw and color their favorite characters, explore expressive techniques, and stay engaged through projects that speak to their interests and imaginations. Everything we do is built around making art a joyful, confidence-building experience.
