EESKUJULIKUD JUHID - Sõrve Outstanding Leadership
This award is presented to two Juhid who have shown outstanding commitment, leadership, and a dedication to creating a great camp experience, while supporting their campers, their groups, and their fellow juhid. The recipients are voted for by their peers in the Juhtkond (leadership team), recognising those who consistently go above and beyond to make Sõrve a positive and successful experience for everyone.
This is now known as the Kai Rahnel Award. Kai Rahnel was a teacher at the Estonian Saturday School in the 1980s, the very organisation from which Sõrve evolved. She served as President and as a member of the Sõrve Komitee for several years, edited 50 Fabulous Years of Sõrve, and was the creative mind behind many of the early Suur Mäng activities. Her daughters and grandchildren continue the family’s Sõrve tradition today.
