Black bears are not dangerous to humans unless trapped or provoked. Don't leave food out and don't get between momma and the babies and you'll be fine. Google bear attacks and you'll see how rare they are. Use a bell or whistle or something to make noise to warm them away. Don't approach them and don't play with them but they aren't a danger to you if they're just climbing trees around you. Lock all items that have a smell to them (candy, all food, toiletries, etc.) in a tight box or inside the house. Keep your trash inside. They won't bother you unless you leave stuff out that they want to check out for food.
