Rodeheaver Boys Ranch, Inc.

About Us

Rodeheaver Boys Ranch provides a wholesome home environment with a program for social, educational, vocational, and spiritual development for up to 50 boys who, because of parental death, desertion, divorce, disability, or general dysfunction, are at-risk or insecure. The Boys’ Ranch fulfills the vision of ranch founder Homer Rodeheaver who donated the land and established the plans that established the Ranch in 1950. The Rodeheaver Boys’ Ranch is located on 800 acres, 12 miles south of Palatka, FL along the western shoreline of the scenic St. Johns River. The Ranch Motto, “It’s Better to Build Boys than to Mend Men” is just as relevant in our society today as it was in 1950.
