Conduct: I promise I will conduct myself in a courteous manner considerate of others; I will follow the directives of Great Bear staff; I will abide by all posted rules of safety and the Your Responsibility Code; I will participate under control in a manner consistent with my ability and without endangering others. I understand that my privileges at Great Bear are subject to revocation for improper conduct.

Your Responsibility Code:

  1.  Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.
