To a first order of approximation, for this task it doesn't matter. Both are good options. I do recommend reading SICP while at it; using Scheme for SICP is easier than using Clojure.

On the other hand, Clojure is more production-ready than most Schemes, in my experience -- this sentence being one of the reasons as the Scheme landscape is very fragmented, despite the standard(s). For example, in my own SICP journey (http://eli.thegreenplace.net/tag/sicp) I was using PLT Scheme, one of the most usable implementation back in the day. Unfortunately it forked off into a slightly different language - Racket - since then. So YMMV
