Welcome to Club SkyWild
Club SkyWild is a unique social program for neurodivergent adults (ages 18+) designed to foster connection, creativity, and fun.

Upon arrival, you'll receive SkyWild Dollars called "Hollars" to spend on snacks, drinks, and activities, letting you practice money management while having a blast. Whether you're crafting, cooking, or just catching up with friends, Club SkyWild is a welcoming space to relax, learn new skills, and explore your creativity.
