Is there a way of creating a Task which is a once a week meeting that
will take place in (say) June, July, and August and then stop repeating?

No, other than using diary sexp.
It is a frequently requested feature though.

Not exactly the answer to the question, but I sometimes use the org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift function to copy a scheduled meeting. That will give me copies with the timestamps shifted by the amount requested (weekly, monthly, etc.). The advantage I found with this, is that I can then edit any of the copies to adjust for holidays.

Note that you can exclude holidays automatically using `org-class' in
diary sexp-style timestamps.

Could I suggest adding a link to the Diary documentation in Emacs that
discusses what a "diary sexp-style timestamp" looks like? Perhaps put it
in 8.1 Timestamps?
