Rhiannon Cantwell Smith
6/14/1989 – 12/25/24

Rhiannon Cantwell Smith, beloved member of our camp family, passed away on December 25th, 2024, with her loved ones at her side.

Rhiannon’s journey with Unitarian Universalism began in 2013 when she moved to San Diego. She quickly became an active member of the First UU Church of San Diego, especially in their Young Adult Group. She was a member of the Women’s Choir, and served on the board of trustees in various positions from 2016 – 2024, and from 2019-2020, served as the congregation’s youngest ever board president.

Rhiannon loved camp, and started the trek up our beloved mountain in 2018. She enjoyed attending both with her congregation and our Young Adult Camps and Thanksgiving Celebrations.

Rhiannon was a light to all those around her — making everyone laugh, fiercely caring for those she loved and always advocating for justice.

At the request of the family, we have established the Rhiannon Cantwell Smith Memorial Scholarship Fund.  This fund will help young people and families find the same joy, solace, serenity, friendship, love and peace at camp that Rhiannon did.
