With 13 HCP and that ♣ suit you could jump to 4♣.
However, that would sail you right past 3NT which is very likely to turn out your best game. Rather than rebid ♣s, find out whether partner has ♠s stopped by using FSF.

You bid 2♠ and partner then says 2NT.
Where do you go from here?

It couldn't have worked out better. Notrump played from partner's side. You bid 3NT.
