Nice place and I went to a automobile auction, it was fun! staff was so welcoming and nice, I'll be back every month for the auctions. Also grew up nearby and we camped at the nearby Rodmen Dam, it was good memories all around. Thanks again! Highly recommended

Yes :) Remember, the closest hotel to the ranch is 10 miles away... a Holiday-Inn Express and a Hampton in downtown Palatka on the river.

Do they fix cars for donations?? Would paid great

As far as I know, they only work on cars donated for their auctions. They do have a shop where they can work on the cars there. When I lived there, they only let the oldest boys who could turn a wrench work on them under supervision. I believe they would do enough to make it run and drive, but not much more than that.

Is it fun at the boys ranch. Are they allowed to be outside . Do they take showers together.

Mary Evans | Sep 13, 2018

I used to live there between the ages of 10 to 15. Each house has two to three bathrooms for the boys to use. They have two toilet stalls and individual showers for privacy. The bedrooms usually have 2 to three beds with separate dressers for the boys to store their possessions. Each Wednesday and Sunday night, the residents and the boys join for church service at their on site chapel, and every Sunday morning, the individual cottages will take their boys to separate churches for morning services. The boys will attend public schools in Palatka, riding to school on the ranches private buses. The boys ranch has their own Boys Scouts Troop (if I remember correctly, its Troop 337). This troop has produced several Eagle Scouts. They have their own access to the St. John river, and host a bass fishing tournament for the boys where professional anglers bring their personal boats and take the boys in groups of 2 to 3 for 3 hours on the river. All in all, I enjoyed the 5 years I lived there!
