    yes. and yes.
    Make a generic template, but tailor it well for each job. Keep it short and relevant.
    There's plenty of tips online for writing cover letters.

    Also, summer jobs are usually got by visiting the place you want to work and asking for a job. Bring a cv (no cover letter required)

    If you send out 50 unsolicited cvs with cover letters, I guarantee you you will be disappointed.
