I think I'm out of luck here, but I thought I'd double-check. 

We run a camp where attendees generally register as families - which are roughly the same as their households, but not always.  I'm trying to figure out the best work-around to allow one person to register the whole family (kids, etc).  90% of our campers return each year, so most will be in the system already.  The simplest work-around is two a have a big textarea and ask them to list the family members that will be attending (some teenagers/spouses don't always come every year, etc.)  An admin would have to manually add the rest of the family to the event.

But that 'solution' seems a little low tech...

Any thoughts?
