Actually, I don't mind doing laundry that much. I just don't like doing it when it's not necessary.
My oldest does already. She came back from lifeguarding at camp last year and told me that she was so used to doing her own laundry that she'd keep doing it from now on. You could have knocked me over with a feather! I think the real reason is that she was tired of me mixing up her and her sister's clothes all the time. It's OK by me.
I have been giving some serious thought to getting my 13 yr old started on this since she's the worst offender in this area. I don't mind doing my 15 yr. son's because he is soooo good about doing stuff for me whenever I need a favor (body: strength or height), promptly and without complaining. I consider it a favor to him because of his great attitude. He does know how to do it, though. He learned at the same camp, from his sister. LOLOL

Sounds like a great kid! Congrats!
