Wear long pants and "blouse" them. (Tuck em into your boots) Flea collars around the top of the boot help with the ticks.

Most snakes will not hurt you,

Most bugs and spiders will not hurt you,

If you get poison Ivy or Poison Oak you will learn real well what it looks like and how to wash well when you get home. Do not let your mom wash your clothes, the oil from the poison Ivy will stay on your clothes and she will get it.
