Rising Freshman Internships for Investment Banking

I'm a rising freshman (currently high school senior). My goal is to get into front office investment banking roles, ideally right out of undergraduate. I know that you're supposed to get internships during your 2nd and 3rd year in undergrad to gain experience as well as something valuable on your resume. However, I want to give myself the best edge possible and get an internship even earlier, the summer before freshman year. 

What kinds of internships make sense? What are your experiences? Where should I look?
