Internship for the Summer of Freshman Year?

Currently at a target and am doing a boutique AM internship. Does anyone know how good this is as a first-time internship? Due to accelerated recruiting, I feel this is the only internship that truly "matters" because most banks will be done recruiting by the time summer 2020 rolls around and it's time for me to do my sophomore summer internship. Is it safe to say that someone without a summer internship is screwed at this point as a freshman?
