How to practice a REALLY boring piano piece?

I have to learn the piano part for the Beethoven piano trio number 3, (third movement, youtube it) I know it's a great piece of music and all, but I just get SOOOOO bored practicing it! I can play it ok, but the summer camp I have to play it in starts on august first and I can only play it adagio , not the presstissimo it's supposed to be! And on top of that, my piano teacher is the camp's director and I don\t want to dissapoint her or the other members in the trio. I don't not like the piece, it's just SOOOOOOO boring!!! And it's really easy too, but just soo incredibly tedious, I am used to being a soloist, not a chamber musician. Should I just slug it out and play it over and over a million times till it's stuck in my head? I don't usually practice that way, but I am running out of time and ideas...
