Sophomore Summer Internship Canceled—Next Steps?

Hey guys, I landed a sophomore summer internship I was really excited for, but the program was unfortunately canceled and now I don't have any plans for the upcoming summer.

I also received a junior summer IB offer, so I don't need the internship for resume padding, but more just because I want some experience and something to do for the next couple months. Is it worth it to reach out to small places near me to try to find work? What other options should I explore for the summer?
