For summer purposes, it is what you put into it. Just like education: It is what you put into it and ask questions. Granted not being at upper tier certainly isnt an advantage but you can still learn a lot/understand concepts. Just because their not the best it doesn't mean that they wont be a great footstep. The best traders learn their own concepts and own research. While you wont have time to explore this in a summer it is food your thought. It is what you make it to be. There are probably many people who are working their way up who are intelligent and are looking to jump once they find that success point. Find the ambitious ones and lever them.

You dont need a great mentor to be a great trader, but it certainly helps.
