Walk, or if you jog, jog up hills. Use the steps as much as possible in your day to day routine.

They sell special shoes that are raised at the ball of the foot. This isolates the calf muscles when your jog/walk/run. Stepping on a block of wood with the balls of your feet works too.

I agree with the others who have posted *step training* as the optimal way to achieve this result.
Here is an interesting step training tutorial to help you get started

I have previously used shoe weights (weight packs that lace into your shoe laces), which might be of assistance in this, though in my personal experience I believe those weights better worked the ankle than the calf (which is what I personally was seeking to accomplish), but perhaps that is just me.
Best wishes.

Step on the edge of a stair with just the ball of your foot....extend the heel as far below the step as possible......then push your body up till you are on your tip toes.....do it in sets of 10.....when it gets easy add weights on your shoulders

box squats...calf raises..lose 3/4 of the weight you'd squat and put half of your foot on the sled and raise it with just your calves...
