Vision: What’s next for Clay Days?  

We are grounded in the present as we continue to raise money to achieve financial self-sufficiency by paying off our loans which were used to purchase the cabin.  Despite this necessary reality, we also look forward to the promising growth and impact of Clay Days.  We have secured an amazing resource for our children, adolescents and their families in the North Georgia Mountains.  Now we must ensure that those who can benefit from it most are aware of this resource and able to use it.  Additionally, we are planning to allocate portions of funds raised to help neurodivergent families in need of financial assistance to pay for supportive camps and other programs that share Clay Days’ mission.  Development of a neurodiverse mentorship and junior counselor programs are also underway!
