Sam: Yeah, but that's not why I came.
Miss Turner: Why did you come, Sam?
Sam: Well, I came because I thought the only way to know nature was to live with it. Like Thoreau. You know? And I came because of my experiments. I learned all about algae under the conditions of nature. And I learned about survival. And... I learned about ...

Trivia
The winter scenes where they show the lake frozen, were not shot in the winter. They had to construct a winter scene by sinking cinder blocks into the pond and then covering it with plywood, before adding the "snow" topping. See more »Goofs
When Sam is chopping out the tree for his house, the sound of the ax hitting the wood doesn't match the ax actually hitting the tree. See more »Quotes
Bando: You know, you've done some amazing things here, Sam. Hollowed out a whole little world for yourself. I bet there's not another boy in the whole civilized world who's done anything like it.Sam: Yeah, but that's not why I came.

James B. Clark directed this film, an adaptation of the Jean George novel that stars Ted Eccles as a 13 year-old boy and nature enthusiast who decides to live out in the Canadian wilderness for the winter(he loves the poetry of Henry David Thoreau) He comes equipped with the knowledge, tools, and determination he thinks he'll need to achieve this goal, building shelter out of an old tree stump, which he will become trapped in when a big snowstorm hits. He also befriends a traveling musician named Bando(played by Theodore Bikel). Intelligent and inspiring film about a most unusual yet remarkable young man. True, his parents must have been terribly worried about him(despite his note), but that's a minor quibble in such fine family entertainment, with some sad moments as well(his poor falcon...) Underrated gem deserves to be better known(and I imagine Sam returned to the wilderness when he got older; at least I hope so!)
