We also had this experience this summer when DD, 7 (not EG, but anyway) went to a camp that was 7-13. She said the older kids were too bossy. I think she's used to taking a leadership role and didn't like being the littlest and not taken seriously. She actually thrived in her last year of preschool when she was one of the oldest and was sort of idolized by the younger girls.

I think, though, that one year ahead (as witha skip) is pretty different than 4-5 years older.
