Meet the William Lawrence Camp Leadership Team

Patrick Rae first came to William Lawrence Camp with his brother as a junior camper in 1980 and has remained connected to the camp community ever since. Over the years, he has served in numerous roles including Senior Unit Leader, Riflery Head, Food Service Director, and Program Director. Today, he continues to support the camp as a member of the Board of Trustees.

Patrick is also a Bill Larry Man and a member of the camp’s Honor Society. The culinary skills he developed while working at camp helped inspire his professional path, and his mentor to this day remains Art Makechnie, the first chef he worked under at William Lawrence Camp. When he is not at camp, Patrick serves as an Associate Professor of Culinary Arts and Chair of the Business Department at Finger Lakes Community College.

Pip Pelletier joined William Lawrence Camp as an Office Manager in July 2025. Based in the region, Pip brings a passion for local history, outdoor education, and experiential learning.

Pip helps keep camp organized and connected, coordinating daily logistics, supporting staff, and welcoming families. With an appreciation for the rhythm and energy of camp life, Pip brings care to the communication and organization that help each day run smoothly.

Becky is a Bill Larry Boy with a longstanding connection to William Lawrence Camp. Becky’s love and passion for camp shine through in everything she does, making her a key part of the camp experience.

Beyond her deep connection to camp life, Becky’s administrative skills are unmatched, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Becky also works as a database administrator, bringing the same attention to detail and organization that makes her an invaluable part of the camp community.

Liam has been part of William Lawrence Camp for nearly thirty years, and at this point there’s hardly a corner of camp he hasn’t led. From Arts & Crafts and Woodworking to waterskiing and out-camping, he’s done it all — and done it well. In the off-season, he works as a guidance counselor at St. Paul’s RC Academy in Dundee, Scotland, where he specializes in emotional and behavioral support and brings outdoor education into the classroom.

When he’s not at school or on the Knoll, Liam loves spending time with his partner, Lynn; his sons, Harper and Carter; and their three dogs — Bently, Rafa, and Brady (named after his hero, Tom).

Liam brings his experience across camp activities and his background in education to his role as Assistant Director.

Ross spent 13 summers on the Knoll, beginning as a camper in 2002 and later serving as an LIT, counselor, and unit leader. His years on staff at William Lawrence Camp were extraordinarily formative and fulfilling, and he is thrilled to return to help create an unforgettable summer for the next generation of campers.

Over the past decade, Ross has worked primarily as a high school mathematics teacher, including seven years at boarding schools where he also helped oversee residential campus life. Outside of work, Ross enjoys skiing, cycling, ice hockey, and golf. He also loves spending time with his 9-year-old labradoodle, Eddie, especially on long walks and games of fetch.

Born in Ohio but shaped by the road, June has traveled to 49 of 50 states. He began his career in business and economics, eventually launching a transportation company before discovering his true calling in healthcare. In 2013, he transitioned into nursing and later earned his Family Nurse Practitioner degree from the University of Cincinnati.

During the school year, June is just down the road at Brewster Academy, where he supports students’ health and well-being. On his days off, he teaches weather, cares for injured or sick kiddos, cooks, hikes, and is even writing a children’s horror-adventure book.

June brings his nursing experience, energy, and curiosity to the William Lawrence Camp community.
