If you are going to be miserable at the event, you shouldn't go. A couple of years ago, my company had a meeting week where all of the staff from across the country came to town. One of the days we had a team building event and two of my co-workers obviously didn't want to be there. They had their arms crossed and sulked the whole time. It brought the whole event down for everyone and made the two co-workers look really bad.
If you do go, you really should do your very best to enjoy yourself and let it be known that you are having a good time.
A suggestion: maybe it might be a good idea for the OP to invite some of his colleagues out for a drink after work or to organize something that the OP enjoys. It would show that the OP is a team mate and maybe could help alleviate the tension between the OP and the boss.
