They have a choice between Spa and Golf. The Spa product also has a few variants. Spa and Golf have been assigned to the category Thursday. I have an entry custom field that asks if they would like to sign up for an activity with a drop down of the values yes and no. The value yes is set to correspond to category Thursday. However, at no point is the guest given the option to choose between Golf and Spa. Any chance you can help?

While what you seem to want to use based on your description are custom item fields which display on the product page so that the user can select them on the product page.

What i would rather do is just have an entry custom field for activites with a drop down with the activity choices. I've tried associating a category to an entry custom field, and it just defaults to a single product. Can you give a step by step and some screen shots? Thank you.

And you can only assign custom item fields to categories of products, not entry fields. To create custom item fields for a category of products, simply create one with the menu Display>Custom fields, select the table "item" and then the category you want it for in the categories listing area of the custom field. That's basically it. It will display automatically on the product page of all the products of that category.
