Two new Long Island companies want to bring some pizzazz to kids' sleepovers.
Cindy Ocampo, 42, a library teacher from Holtsville, launched CC Slumber Party in March with her sister, Chrissy Tetrault, 46, a florist from Kings Park. The duo sets up individual teepee-style tents in the home _ one for each guest. They pitch them indoors before the party, complete with an air mattress and fitted sheet in each, and they come back to pick them up the following day. The setup also includes individual tray tables, lanterns and sleep masks. Guests bring their own pillows and blankets.
"We work with customers to come up with a theme," Ocampo says. "What's hot right now are unicorns and mermaids." The company also offers the themes pink frenzy, camping and sports, and is working on adding a glow-in-the-dark theme. "This is an idea that's huge on the West Coast," Ocampo says.
