Like Giggles said, it is sometimes hard for older staff to work with staff in the 18-21 range, or just in general college kids. I started at my current camp as a group leader (unit leader in GS terms) and I was 25 at the time. Most of my staff weren't even in their 20s yet, and there was really some struggle, but we worked through it. Now, I am in more of a director position so I don't have to work with general staff, though I still hear of some frustration.
While it is technically illegal to ask for age, there are some camp jobs which require a minimum age. For example, you may have to be 21 in order to drive a boat or a camp vechical. Though, I don't think you'll have a problem on the minimum age side of things.
