Campy \ Shimano compatibilty

On a trip in france, looking at my bike with a moderately damaged wheelset due to shipping. Enough that the rear doesnt spin at all in the frame. I am running campy 10 speed drivetrain. Local shop wont try to fix the rim and says it would take a week blah blah blah. I am looking for a quick reasonable fix. The shop has some shimano wheels. My thinking is this: try to fix the wheel by loosening spokes and bending back,then truing with spoke wrench. long shot i know. Second, wait for only other shop to open tomorrow and maybe they can fix or put hubs on new rims (front DA hub and rear powertap). Third, buy a shimano 10 speed wheelset (cheap one) and use a shimano cassette and suffer with less than stellar shifting. Is it possible to put my campy freehub on another shimano hub, seems unlikely in my mind but I do not know. What other quick options am I missing? What would you do? Big part of the trip is to ride and I am here for 7 more days before italy.
