How do you know they just didn't wear their wrist band. I didn't don mine until suppertime.. I can imagine there are some who just forgot or just plain did not put their wrist bands on at all.
If this is a problem the most surefire way to safeguard against this in the future would be to charge for dinner at the dinner table, charge for entry into caver camp at the entry to the Caver Camp, Charge for beer at the beer table (or sell a wrist band for beer at the beer table and no refills w/o a wrist band.) This way you get the money for everyone for everything without insulting anyone.

Logistically having two organisations collecting fees *is* a nightmare, and the fee the park would charge is unlikely the be the same as TCR charges for the same. I'm not in the least bit involved with the organisation of TCR (other than the food) but I could easily assume that TCR pays a flat fee to the landowner which is then amortised over the TCR attendees to keep the cost *down*; by extension the fee to not eat the Saturday meal at TCR could be higher than eating it!

Probably why they choose not to pay at all. I would say to let the park office collect an entrance fee per family before you can enter. Then have TCR collect an event fee in camp minus the facilities costs.

I suspect this would be a bo! okkeeping nightmare, but some logistics genius could figure it out, and TCR would reap a few more pennies to cover the costs. ..... just a thought.
