When Do Summer Internships Start?

I am planning a trip with my friends for next may currently, but I don't want it to conflict with any summer internships if I get them. Do most internships start in June, or should I think twice about this trip?

Most start early June (June 7th this year). There were also several analysts that came a week later because their school system runs on quarters ( Stanford, UofC,).

If you start 1/2 week late then you would miss half of training / orientation so unless you have school or some other serious conflict is generally not allowed.

But when do they generally start? And is school a valid excuse? Are they likely to accept that?
