There are probably some squidGuard modules/plugin scripts to do this, but another option might be a captive portal product like http://coova.org/CoovaChilli or similar. A lot of home routers even have this sort of thing built in, like Mikrotik & DD-WRT. They're targeted at wifi hotspots in Internet cafes and the like, but they would probably do the job in your situation as well.
